I was given a task the other day which included the following requirement:
“Content is categorized by the intersection of strategic priority and organizations and the pull through between organizations.”
I considered telling the woman who provided this instruction what she could pull but thought better of it.

All orginizations had better come together on a joint agreement on what’s best for the company’s future.

If this instruction was accompanied by a set of items to categorize I would say that the sentence means “throw these items into the trash bin.”
It doesn’t make a bit of sense. I would just ask the person assigning the task for clarification. There has got to be a simpler way of expressing what they want.
Oddly enough and in what one might call an extremely unlikely turn of events a PowerPoint file provided later did clarify the sentence.

The content has to be organized by priorities and organization. No wait. I give up. That sentence was nuts. I think I’m going to cry.
Content = content, a state of happiness or bliss
is categorized = is sorted out
by the intersection = next to the road junction
of strategic priority = with important military significance
and organizations = and organizations (How simple is that?)
and the pull = and the bedroom or bathroom lightswitch
through = are no longer in a romantic relationship
between organizations = between organisations.
So the sentence unpacks as:
<<A state of happiness or bliss is sorted out next to the road junction with important military significance, and organizations and the bedroom or bathroom lightswitch are no longer in a romantic relationship between organisations.>>
How simple is that?

In about 5 minutes I am meeting with the woman who wrote the original sentence. I’ll try that out on her.

Very interesting.
This puts a perspective on matters well worth bearing in mind.
Edit: fight fire with fire
Sounds like the writer is practicing to be a politician.

The woman has a great future working as a consultant to help companies and departments develop mission statements.

“If your thoughts are rubbish merely
Don’t express yourself too clearly.”
“Content is categorized by [extra stuff that can be left out without altering the meaning] strategic priority and organizations and the pull through between organizations.”
I only got the part about intersection, I think that can be left out.
