My answer is that I want the ZK to support certain research projects. It should support the development of a predictive framework for answering the questions in Carl Wieman's How to become a successful physicist that must be addressed for such projects to be successful.‡
We found that all the experts optimized their disciplinary knowledge for making decisions. We describe that knowledge-organization structure as a “predictive framework.” [Edited by Grammary.]
I'm assuming the obvious: that research activities require decision-making and that "... knowledge-free problem-solving is a meaningless concept."† I cannot think of a better process for my purposes than that of How to become a successful physicist.
†You don't need a Nobel Laureate to state the obvious, but it can help to have their endorsement. The process is not obvious in this case, and you need the Nobel Laureate to state it.
‡For some projects, a subset of the 29 sets of questions in Wieman will do.
