Space: Desk / seated Automated structural checklist: 10 of 10 structural checks present Evidence quality/context: G2; Focused research depth Automated method-quality band: Comprehensive Method-rating basis: Structure coverage, instruction/check specificity, alternative distinctness, source troubleshooting, comparison depth and whether purpose/check fields are authored rather than derived. Editorial review: Pending manual editorial sign off ## Before you begin - [ ] I read the tutorial authority and stop conditions. - [ ] I have the required equipment/space or a declared accessible alternative. ## Canonical source context This lesson turns a reading-room hours dispute into a reconstructable decision dossier. Frame 08:00–16:00 versus 10:00–18:00; populate eight distinct role cells; sort visit counts, surveys plus forecasts; manage Director Vale’s evening-programme interest; preserve morning-user dissent; issue a one-month trial; ask a cold reader to recover mandate, reasons plus challenge path. Target outcome: Using only a fictional dossier, a cold reader identifies authorised hours, decider, three source notes, sponsor conflict, preserved objection, one-month measures plus Orr challenge path without oral coaching. ### Authority and setup conditions - Keep every name, organisation and consequence fictional. - State who granted the fictional mandate and what remains outside it. - Set the option “defer and route outward” before analysing the case. ### Required or supplied materials - Supplied fictional case: choose 08:00-16:00 or 10:00-18:00 for a one-month reading-room trial. Last month had 60 visits, including 24 before 10:00. Staff note S1 says 08:00-16:00 fits current shifts and 10:00-18:00 requires a rotating late shift that is affordable only for the trial. Commuter survey S2 says 18 of 30 respondents prefer access after 17:00. Quiet-morning note S3 says 12 of 15 regular respondents depend on access before 10:00 and request an exception route. - Role matrix naming proposer Nia Cole, staff adviser Devon Pike, decider Service Director Mira Vale, implementer Jo Lin and independent reviewer Chair Sam Orr; evidence/value/uncertainty table, conflict card, dissent box, decision/reason form and challenge card. - A second-reader reconstruction checklist. ## 1. Define the decision Write: choose 08:00–16:00 or 10:00–18:00 for one fictional reading-room month; exclude permanent hours, staffing contracts and other services. Why: A bounded hours question prevents the dossier from silently deciding unrelated conditions. Success check: The sentence contains two options, one room, one month and three exclusions. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Write: choose 08:00–16:00 or 10:00–18:00 for one fictional reading-room month; exclude permanent hours, staffing contracts and other services.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “The sentence contains two options, one room, one month and three exclusions.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 2. Map decision roles Place Cole, Pike, Vale, Lin plus Orr into propose, advise, decide, implement or review cells; mark consent, veto or appeal-hearing absent when fixture grants none. Why: Named cells distinguish giving information from authorising the trial or checking it later. Success check: Each supplied person appears only in the role granted by the fictional mandate. Accessible alternative: Replace spoken or audio cues with visible text, captions or haptic timing while keeping the same sequence and success check. Record accessibility impact and support as decision evidence, not as a later accommodation note. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 3. Check mandate and limits Copy the service director’s one-month scheduling mandate and write that it cannot alter employment terms, remove accessible service or bind future months. Why: The director’s title does not extend beyond this temporary reading-room schedule. Success check: Mandate source, duration and all three non-authorised changes appear beside Vale’s name. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Copy the service director’s one-month scheduling mandate and write that it cannot alter employment terms, remove accessible service or bind future months.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “Mandate source, duration and all three non-authorised changes appear beside Vale’s name.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 4. Separate evidence and values Put 60 visits, 24 pre-10:00 visits plus two survey fractions under observations; put evening-demand or rota effects under forecasts; put access versus burden under values. Why: The same sentence must not pass a preference off as measured reading-room use. Success check: Every supplied fact lands in the correct one of three labelled columns. Accessible alternative: A supported, seated, reduced-range or slower version of “Put 60 visits, 24 pre-10:00 visits plus two survey fractions under observations; put evening-demand or rota effects under forecasts; put access versus burden under values.” is equivalent only when it keeps the same trained or measured target, declared configuration and success check: “Every supplied fact lands in the correct one of three labelled columns.” 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: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 5. Map conflicts and recusal Record Vale’s evening-programme sponsorship beside her recommendation; give Orr an independent analysis check before Vale signs. Why: The sponsor interest could favour 10:00–18:00 even when evidence remains mixed. Success check: Conflict entry names Vale’s benefit, disclosure plus Orr’s concrete checking task. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Record Vale’s evening-programme sponsorship beside her recommendation; give Orr an independent analysis check before Vale signs.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “Conflict entry names Vale’s benefit, disclosure plus Orr’s concrete checking task.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 6. Invite affected input and dissent Quote S3: 12 of 15 respondents depend on pre-10:00 access; identify absent non-users; preserve their requested exception route. Why: Consensus can erase the quiet-morning group’s legitimate scheduling objection. Success check: The dissent is visible and not rewritten as agreement. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Quote S3: 12 of 15 respondents depend on pre-10:00 access; identify absent non-users; preserve their requested exception route.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “The dissent is visible and not rewritten as agreement.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 7. Decide or defer with reasons Vale chooses 10:00–18:00 or defers, citing each source note, the access–workload trade-off, uncertainty and why 08:00–16:00 was not selected. Why: Readers must trace S1–S3 from source notes to temporary hours. Success check: Signed reasons cite S1, S2, S3 plus a rejected option. Accessible alternative: Complete “Vale chooses 10:00–18:00 or defers, citing each source note, the access–workload trade-off, uncertainty and why 08:00–16:00 was not selected.” in shorter passes, or use keyboard input, dictation or a support person, while preserving this success check: “Signed reasons cite S1, S2, S3 plus a rejected option.” Do not require public speaking, eye contact or immediate disclosure for dissent. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 8. Set implementation and monitoring Give Lin a start date; log evening visits, lost pre-10:00 visits, rota burden plus access requests weekly; state a reopening threshold. Why: A one-month schedule is testable only when both intended access and morning loss are counted. Success check: Four measures, a weekly recorder and a reopen threshold are present. Accessible alternative: A supported, seated, reduced-range or slower version of “Give Lin a start date; log evening visits, lost pre-10:00 visits, rota burden plus access requests weekly; state a reopening threshold.” is equivalent only when it keeps the same trained or measured target, declared configuration and success check: “Four measures, a weekly recorder and a reopen threshold are present.” 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: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 9. Provide review and appeal Allow any fictional user to send a challenge card to Orr within ten days; Orr may uphold, amend, pause or return a dossier for missing evidence. Why: Correction rights let a fictional user challenge the schedule without the conflicted decider. Success check: A user can follow the route without asking the original decision-maker. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Allow any fictional user to send a challenge card to Orr within ten days; Orr may uphold, amend, pause or return a dossier for missing evidence.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “A user can follow the route without asking the original decision-maker.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice. Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved Learner notes: ________________________________________________________________________________ Completed: [ ] ## 10. Run reconstruction test Give only a dossier to a cold reader; request chosen hours, mandate, S1–S3 reason chain, sponsor response, morning dissent, measures plus Orr route. Why: A dossier fails when its logic exists only in the author’s memory. Success check: The reader recovers all seven items or marks the exact field needing repair. Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Give only a dossier to a cold reader; request chosen hours, mandate, S1–S3 reason chain, sponsor response, morning dissent, measures plus Orr route.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “The reader recovers all seven items or marks the exact field needing repair.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.
