Search Architecture & Findability Strategist
Architect information systems optimized for user search behavior
by kanta13jp1Library & Information ScienceInformation ArchitectureInformation ArchitectSearch/FindabilityWhat You Can Do
You design and validate information architectures that align with how users actually search and think about content. This skill analyzes user mental models, search patterns, and existing structures to identify discoverability gaps and recommend strategic improvements that make finding information intuitive and fast.
Features
Understand how your target users conceptualize and organize information in your domain, revealing their natural mental models.
Analyze query patterns, search terms, and navigation behavior to understand how users actually look for content.
Create intuitive hierarchies, taxonomies, and navigation systems optimized for discoverability and user mental models.
Test whether key content can be found through expected search paths and identify dead-end queries.
Build controlled vocabularies and alternative terms that match user language, improving search and browsability.
Identify misalignments between user mental models and your current structure, surfacing quick wins and strategic improvements.
Define filter strategies and cross-cutting dimensions that let users narrow results by multiple criteria simultaneously.
Prioritize architectural changes with effort estimates and migration strategies to minimize disruption.
Example Output
Mental Model Map — Visual representation showing how users organize work by project, priority, date, and person, with key terminology highlighted.
IA Audit — "Your 'Billing' section is buried three levels deep, but 40% of support queries are billing-related. Recommend moving to top-level Account menu."
Search Validation Matrix — Test of 15 common queries ("reset password", "refund status", "API rate limits") showing which are discoverable through current structure and which are not.
Taxonomy Proposal — Hierarchical categories + facets (by product, by role, by urgency) with synonym groups so users searching "problems" find "troubleshooting".

This skill transforms raw patient intake data—whether from completed forms, verbal responses, or clinical notes—into organized, EHR-ready documentation. It systematically extracts ocular and systemic medical history, identifies urgent symptoms requiring expedited examination, flags drug interactions or contraindications relevant to vision care, and generates professional summaries that prepare optometrists for efficient, informed consultations. You'll reduce documentation rework, ensure no critical information is missed, and improve the quality of the medical record.
