Offtopic - charles_f / OP, are you a native French speaker? I was struggling to come up with what you might mean by 'transverse' as I've never seen it used in this context.
That (familiar vocabulary in unfamiliar context) is one kind of question I've found LLMs to be able to be helpful. I tried in sonar (useless) and llama 70b (unhelpful, only offered ideas I'd considered), and then remembered I'd been meaning to try Claude. It surprised me. It offered a decent guess I hadn't considered ("lateral thinker") but that was clearly wrong in this context -- which it requested alongside the guess. With context, it immediately deduced the French speaker option, explaining transverse was quite ordinary business language in French, with a meaning along the lines of interdepartmental, cross-functional, or matrix reporting.
It later pointed at sixish other bits of phrasing that supported the idea (e.g. "systematically" where "consistently" would be more natural, where "systématiquement" in French would be natural), while readily cautioning that it was still just a guess.
Just curious if it was insightful or off the mark.
