Positive Pivot
A reformulation move in which a stated problem is recast into one or more actionable options. It denotes the observable act of converting a problem framing into a choice set within the dialogue.
Operational Definition
One occurrence would be coded when a turn contains an explicit recasting of a previously stated problem into discrete actionable options (a problem statement in an earlier turn followed by an option-set framing in a later turn). The reformulating turn is the unit.
Measurement Schema
Proposed measurement protocol (not yet empirically validated): Transcript coding by two raters using a problem-to-options rubric; reliability via Cohen's kappa; result could be reported as a count per N=10 turns.
