I don't know how to explain to my boss that I need her to be clear about what she wants, so that she doesn't end up with a bunch of conflicting information because she keeps asking for data in different ways, as has happened this week. I don't know how to explain.
@RolloTreadway From more IT -adjacent people I have heard that they try and say that some things in a request to them are unspecified and they want more details to make sure they deliver the right things. I would try and angle like that as to not step on anyone's toes.
