## Canonical source context

Partial sleep loss becomes a planning constraint, never an endurance contest. While fully rested, a learner copies a fictional two-night sleep ledger, decomposes upcoming duty into concrete actions and asks what one missed step could do. Reversible paperwork stays visible; a consequential calculation receives independent rested verification; vehicle or machinery control moves to a rested operator before simulated roster start. Checker, review time, replacement, ride and restoration block are booked on paper. A later cue tests activation of those controls; no short-sleep worker pushes through.

Target outcome: For Cards A, B and C, a learner builds an accurate three-column duty matrix, names one failure consequence per action, assigns supplied rested checker or replacement, preserves alert ride plus recovery block, and activates a prewritten transfer when each scenario reveals its error cue. Nobody reproduces fictional short sleep.

### Authority and setup conditions

- Use Cards A–C as paper simulations while rested; do not recreate their two-night sleep ledgers.
- Keep the classification key folded until the complete matrix, names and times are committed.
- For a real roster, obtain the employer's fatigue procedure and identify who has authority to reassign each named duty.
- A medical or occupational decision about actual duty belongs to the responsible clinician/employer, not to this exercise.

### Required or supplied materials

- Three exact cards, used only while rested. A: print-shop sleep 23:30–04:30 and 23:10–04:40; simulated duty 06:00–13:00; actions are proofread an unpublished draft, release a 200-address mailing file and drive the van; Lena is rested backup; review 08:00; taxi 13:00; restoration 13:30–19:30. Its later cue reads ‘07:40: the character loses the proof line twice and leaves one correction mark unfinished.’ B: ward sleep 00:00–05:00 and 00:15–05:00; duty 06:30; actions are file blank forms, check a fictional dose calculation and drive between sites; Dev is rested backup; review 08:30; alert ride 14:00; restoration 14:30–20:30. Its cue reads ‘08:10: the character rereads the same blank form three times and cannot name the last completed row.’ C: warehouse sleep 22:45–04:45 and 23:30–04:30; duty 05:30; actions are relabel an unshipped sample box, authorise a stock release and operate a forklift; Mo is rested backup; review 07:00; alert ride 12:00; restoration 12:30–18:30. Its cue reads ‘06:40: the character omits the suffix on the current sample label.’
- A folded R/I/X key. R means reversible before release: A draft proof, B blank-form filing, C unshipped sample relabelling. I means independent rested verification before release: Lena compares the 200-address source with the mailing total; Dev recalculates the fictional dose from supplied inputs; Mo compares stock code, quantity and authorisation. X means removed exposure: Lena receives the van, Dev receives inter-site driving and Mo receives the forklift before each stated duty start.
- One roster-matrix sheet per card with columns: card code; sleep interval 1; sleep interval 2; duty start; atomic action; missed-step consequence; R/I/X; checker or operator; source used for verification; acceptance time; scheduled review; later cue; last verified item; unfinished item; ride; restoration start/end; key mismatch; correction.
- A control-request script with blanks: ‘Because this roster contains [two copied intervals], assign [action] to [name] before [start]; [name] independently verifies [row] against [source] before release; review at [time]; transport is [ride]; restoration is [block].’
- For real-world discussion only, the applicable workplace fatigue, duty-reassignment and driving procedure; the responsible employer or occupational role verifies authority before any actual schedule.

## 1. Copy exposure facts

From a chosen card, copy both actual sleep intervals, fictional duty start, planned review, named backup, ride time and restoration block. Do not convert those nights to a personal tolerance label.

Why: This matrix applies to one declared roster configuration; ‘I cope well’ removes information needed to plan controls.

Success check: Both sleep intervals and all five supplied control facts reproduce their source card exactly.

Accessible alternative: Complete “From a chosen card, copy both actual sleep intervals, fictional duty start, planned review, named backup, ride time and restoration block. Do not convert those nights to a personal tolerance label.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “Both sleep intervals and all five supplied control facts reproduce their source card exactly.” Let a scribe enter names and times, but require the learner to state the failed-step consequence and selected control.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

Learner notes:

## 2. Split duty into actions

Write each supplied action on its own row. Replace broad labels such as ‘ward work’ or ‘warehouse work’ with a named action—blank-form filing, fictional dose calculation, driving, relabelling, stock release or forklift operation.

Why: One job can contain actions with very different error consequences.

Success check: Every supplied action has one and only one matrix row.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Write each supplied action on its own row. Replace broad labels such as ‘ward work’ or ‘warehouse work’ with a named action—blank-form filing, fictional dose calculation, driving, relabelling, stock release or forklift operation.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “Every supplied action has one and only one matrix row.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

Learner notes:

Completed: [ ]

## 3. Write failed-step consequence

Beside each row, finish this sentence: ‘If one step is missed, then…’. Name rework for a reversible paper error, a wrong downstream decision for an unchecked calculation/release, or collision/crush injury for vehicle/machinery control.

Why: A concrete consequence, not prestige or familiarity, determines its safeguard.

Success check: No consequential row says only ‘important’, ‘risky’ or ‘be careful’.

Accessible alternative: A supported, seated, reduced-range or slower version of “Beside each row, finish this sentence: ‘If one step is missed, then…’. Name rework for a reversible paper error, a wrong downstream decision for an unchecked calculation/release, or collision/crush injury for vehicle/machinery control.” is equivalent only when it keeps the same trained or measured target, declared configuration and success check: “No consequential row says only ‘important’, ‘risky’ or ‘be careful’.” If any of those change, record it as a related alternative rather than an equivalent repetition.

Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check

Learner notes:

## 4. Assign one control column

Put work correctable before release in reversible; put a supplied consequential calculation or release in independent rested check; put driving or forklift operation in pre-reassigned. Do not let one row occupy two columns.

Why: These columns encode different barriers: correction, independent detection or removal of exposure.

Success check: All three card actions occupy their keyed columns, with no vehicle or machinery row left to self-check.

Accessible alternative: A supported, seated, reduced-range or slower version of “Put work correctable before release in reversible; put a supplied consequential calculation or release in independent rested check; put driving or forklift operation in pre-reassigned. Do not let one row occupy two columns.” is equivalent only when it keeps the same trained or measured target, declared configuration and success check: “All three card actions occupy their keyed columns, with no vehicle or machinery row left to self-check.” If any of those change, record it as a related alternative rather than an equivalent repetition.

Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check

## 5. Test checker independence

For the middle column, write the supplied rested person's name and what they must compare before release. Reject a checker who shares the fictional short-rest schedule, merely watches the first worker or checks after the consequence has escaped.

Why: A nominal second pair of eyes is not an independent barrier when exposure or timing is shared.

Success check: The named checker is rested, receives the source information and signs before the fictional release.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “For the middle column, write the supplied rested person's name and what they must compare before release. Reject a checker who shares the fictional short-rest schedule, merely watches the first worker or checks after the consequence has escaped.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “The named checker is rested, receives the source information and signs before the fictional release.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

Learner notes:

## 6. Book the replacement and ride

Write who assumes each pre-reassigned action before the fictional duty begins and copy the supplied alert ride time. The curtailed-rest character never operates the vehicle to reach the restoration location.

Why: A reassignment without an operator and travel arrangement is only a label.

Success check: Every red-column action has a named rested operator and the commute does not return to the fictional worker.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Write who assumes each pre-reassigned action before the fictional duty begins and copy the supplied alert ride time. The curtailed-rest character never operates the vehicle to reach the restoration location.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “Every red-column action has a named rested operator and the commute does not return to the fictional worker.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

Learner notes:

## 7. Prewrite the review decision

At the card's review time, compare completed rows, rereading, omitted fields and changed workload. Write in advance that an error cue freezes new work and activates the named replacement; it does not reopen the red column.

Why: A prewritten branch prevents confidence after several quiet hours from undoing the controls.

Success check: The sheet has one clock review and an error-trigger branch that preserves every reassignment.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “At the card's review time, compare completed rows, rereading, omitted fields and changed workload. Write in advance that an error cue freezes new work and activates the named replacement; it does not reopen the red column.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “The sheet has one clock review and an error-trigger branch that preserves every reassignment.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

Learner notes:

## 8. Activate the supplied cue

When the card later reveals repeated rereading or another stated error, stop adding rows, circle the last verified item and transfer the worksheet, unfinished item and next check to the named backup. Keep the originally reassigned action outside the worker's role.

Why: The cue tests whether the planned control is executable; it is not a challenge to recover performance.

Success check: The backup can identify the last verified item and the exact unfinished action without reconstructing the sheet.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “When the card later reveals repeated rereading or another stated error, stop adding rows, circle the last verified item and transfer the worksheet, unfinished item and next check to the named backup. Keep the originally reassigned action outside the worker's role.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “The backup can identify the last verified item and the exact unfinished action without reconstructing the sheet.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

## 9. Protect and audit restoration

Copy the card's restoration start/end, move optional errands outside it and, after the paper scenario, check whether any classification, checker, ride or rest block changed after the cue. Correct the plan while rested and record the mismatch.

Why: The final audit measures control-plan fidelity, not how long the fictional worker endured.

Success check: The restoration block remains intact and every key mismatch is visible beside its correction.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Copy the card's restoration start/end, move optional errands outside it and, after the paper scenario, check whether any classification, checker, ride or rest block changed after the cue. Correct the plan while rested and record the mismatch.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “The restoration block remains intact and every key mismatch is visible beside its correction.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved
