The Story
Vipul regularly managed parallel research workstreams at EZ, where a team of seven handled both short-turnaround research requests and longer custom reports simultaneously. One of the most demanding clients was an MBB consulting firm that required both types of output concurrently.
When deadlines came into conflict, Vipul's approach was to communicate proactively with the client rather than quietly absorbing the pressure. He told the client directly where he stood on their work and when they could expect delivery, buying the room needed to sequence the workstreams without compromising quality.
On the execution side, he used AI to run parallel workstreams: while a deep research prompt was processing, he would work on the shorter request, then cross-verify the AI output when it returned. This approach let him manage both workstreams without dropping either, and the MBB client remained satisfied with the arrangement.
