The method behind this example
Ask for missing information, correct the read-back and reconfirm changed instructions.
Your independent challenge: The assigned roles hold different fields; the receiver must supply its own access condition. A confirmed example message cannot authorise it.
The example includes the practical intervention and its required handover.
Start this worked example
- Choose Watch the worked example. The student demonstrator explains the task, talks through each action, then reviews the observations and finished submission. Narration starts with this click; Mute narration keeps the same experience captioned.
- Choose Take control to try the current chapter. Follow its prompt, change the labelled controls and select Test my decision.
- Read the feedback, retry if needed, then continue with Next chapter. Each checked chapter provides evidence for one connected operation.
- After every chapter check, return to the mission station, perform the intervention, collect its package and follow the marked checkpoints to complete the handover. Watching performs these same actions with narration. Direct chapter access is a partial preview until the full evidence and handover are complete.
- Use Fullscreen mission after opening the scene to keep the instructions, chapter controls and equipment together. Reflections and exports come after your practical attempt.

YOUR SKILL
Asymmetric communication
A NEW SETTING
An analyst knows the delivery instruction; an operator controls the dispatch table.
WHAT CHANGES
The alternate handoff is Dome / 5 / VIOLET, then Pool / 2 / SILVER.

Who sends the delivery instruction
An analyst holds the delivery card; an operator controls dispatch.
- Your part
- Watch follows a worked solution. Take control lets you move the student avatar and try its decisions. The demonstrator in the explanation is modelling a solution, not an extra witness in the story.
- Your instructor
- Mara stands in the marked teaching bay outside the investigation area. She guides the exercise. Her presence, appearance and idle gestures are not clues about what happened in the case.
- People in this scenario
- Analyst and operator are roles in the example exchange. Council dossiers identify the speakers; Mara is not either person.
- What counts as evidence
- Read the card, the operator's read-back and the analyst's confirmation. Preserve the count correction instead of assuming a nod proves understanding.
- Why the objects are here
- The dispatch table and cases represent a delivery instruction. The response controls record its destination, quantity, code and acknowledgement.

THE DEMONSTRATOR’S REASONING
Identify the missing information
The analyst's card says five sealed cases to Dome, verification VIOLET. The operator sees destination controls but not the card. 'Send those upstairs' leaves critical fields unstated.
Why this matters
Competent participants can still hold different information.
A plausible mistake
Repeating vague wording does not make the missing fields appear.

Completed demonstration example — dome handoff
Role information
Analyst card: five sealed cases to Dome, verification VIOLET. Operator: controls dispatch and must request exact destination, count and code.
Recorded exchange
Analyst: “Deliver five sealed cases to Dome; verification code VIOLET. Read back before dispatch.” Operator first read-back: “Dome, four, VIOLET.” Analyst: “Correct the count to five.” Operator corrected read-back: “Dome, five, VIOLET.” Analyst: “Confirmed.”
The count mismatch was found before movement. A bare acknowledgement would not have exposed it.
Changed situation
New card: Pool / 2 / SILVER. The team repeated the same protocol with new values. The operator's matching read-back was confirmed separately from the earlier handoff.
Agreement
The analyst owns instruction accuracy; the operator records and repeats the three fields; either role may stop if a field conflicts. A completed acknowledgement applies to one identified instruction, not every later delivery.
Reflection
The protocol was useful because it made the receiver's interpretation visible. My error was a wrong count, not unwillingness to cooperate. In another task I would preserve exact labels and ask which condition permits action, especially when the roles see different screens.
Named output: handoff-agreement. This is an alternate demonstration, not the assigned Relay/Archive/Dispatch answer.
Method to carry forward
Ask for missing information, correct the read-back and reconfirm changed instructions.
The assigned roles hold different fields; the receiver must supply its own access condition. A confirmed example message cannot authorise it.

Before we begin · expected task and evidence
I need to pass an instruction between an analyst and an operator without losing its meaning. I will state destination, quantity and code, expose a mistaken read-back, correct it, and repeat the protocol for a new message. My completed handoff record must include confirmation. The method we are practising is: Ask for missing information, correct the read-back and reconfirm changed instructions.. Our field objective is: Dispatch the correct environmental kit through a confirmed instruction and readback. A quantity error and incomplete message could send the wrong kit to the right destination. I will perform the supported intervention and handover. You can pause, mute, replay, or take control at any point. The captions show the same explanation.
1. Identify the missing information
What I need to do: Step 1. Identify the missing information. I compare what each role can see. The operator needs an exact destination and count, not a vague direction such as upstairs.
Supplied context: The analyst's card says five sealed cases to Dome, verification VIOLET. The operator sees destination controls but not the card. 'Send those upstairs' leaves critical fields unstated.
Watch my actions: For "Missing actionable information", I choose "Exact destination and count". I check the demonstrated result.
What I observed: The communication gap is identified before dispatch. Competent participants can still hold different information.
Why: Competent participants can still hold different information.
Decision: Which field is missing from 'send those upstairs'?
- Missing actionable information: Exact destination and count
Result: The communication gap is identified before dispatch.
Common mistake: Repeating vague wording does not make the missing fields appear.
2. Name the destination
What I need to do: Step 2. Name the destination. I use the destination's shared name so both roles can compare the same field.
Supplied context: The analyst says 'Deliver five sealed cases to Dome.' The operator records the exact named destination rather than translating it into a personal direction such as upstairs.
Watch my actions: For "Named destination", I enter Dome. I check the demonstrated result.
What I observed: The destination can now be checked against the same label. Shared names reduce ambiguity when viewpoints differ.
Why: Shared names reduce ambiguity when viewpoints differ.
Decision: Enter the destination.
- Named destination: Dome
Result: The destination can now be checked against the same label.
Common mistake: Upstairs depends on the starting point and can describe several rooms.
3. Preserve the exact quantity
What I need to do: Step 3. Preserve the exact quantity. I correct the first read-back from four cases to five and keep the mismatch visible.
Supplied context: The operator initially hears four, reads it back and is corrected to five. The demonstrator preserves this mismatch rather than showing only a flawless exchange.
Watch my actions: For "Number of cases", I enter 5. I check the demonstrated result.
What I observed: The count now agrees and the repair remains visible. Read-back exposes a consequential difference before action.
Why: Read-back exposes a consequential difference before action.
Decision: Correct the operator's quantity.
- Number of cases: 5
Result: The count now agrees and the repair remains visible.
Common mistake: An acknowledgement of 'understood' would not reveal the wrong count.
4. Carry the verification condition
What I need to do: Step 4. Carry the verification condition. I carry the current verification code rather than reusing a familiar code from earlier work.
Supplied context: The dispatch code is VIOLET. A familiar code from an earlier exercise would be wrong even if the destination and count were correct.
Watch my actions: For "Current code", I enter VIOLET. I check the demonstrated result.
What I observed: All three fields now match the current instruction. A complete instruction contains the current condition, not a remembered default.
Why: A complete instruction contains the current condition, not a remembered default.
Decision: Enter the verification code.
- Current code: VIOLET
Result: All three fields now match the current instruction.
Common mistake: Correct destination alone does not establish a complete handoff.
5. Close the communication loop
What I need to do: Step 5. Close the communication loop. I wait for a complete read-back of destination, count and code, then confirm all three.
Supplied context: The operator reads back Dome, five, VIOLET. The analyst compares all three fields and confirms. Only then is the handoff complete.
Watch my actions: I set "Read-back confirmed" to yes. I check the demonstrated result.
What I observed: Both roles share the same actionable instruction. The receiver's exact understanding becomes inspectable before action.
Why: The receiver's exact understanding becomes inspectable before action.
Decision: Record acknowledgement after the complete read-back.
- Read-back confirmed: Yes
Result: Both roles share the same actionable instruction.
Common mistake: Silence is not evidence that all fields were heard correctly.
6. Reuse the protocol, change the message
What I need to do: Step 6. Reuse the protocol, change the message. I replace all three fields with the new card's values and perform another read-back. Earlier confirmation cannot approve a changed message.
Supplied context: The next card says two cases to Pool, verification SILVER. The demonstrator changes all three fields and performs another read-back; the earlier values are preserved in the record.
Watch my actions: For "New destination", I enter Pool. For "New quantity", I enter 2. For "New code", I enter SILVER. I check the demonstrated result.
What I observed: The protocol survives a different task without carrying stale values. Transfer keeps a sound communication method while replacing its current content.
Why: Transfer keeps a sound communication method while replacing its current content.
Decision: Record the fresh handoff.
- New destination: Pool
- New quantity: 2
- New code: SILVER
Result: The protocol survives a different task without carrying stale values.
Common mistake: Reusing VIOLET would be a memory error disguised as routine.
Performing the field operation
All chapter evidence checks are complete. I return to the mission station and authorise the confirmed dispatch. I am putting the verified solution into effect, then checking what changes.
I collect Confirmed environmental-kit instruction. The verified intervention released this package. I now carry it through the marked handover route.
I carry Confirmed environmental-kit instruction to Dispatch table. I confirm this checkpoint before continuing so the handover trace records the route actually followed.
I carry Confirmed environmental-kit instruction to Receiving operator station. I confirm this checkpoint before continuing so the handover trace records the route actually followed.
At the receiving station, I complete the receiver handover. I check the receipt before calling the field operation complete.
My observations and finished submission
The first confirmed message was Dome, five cases, VIOLET. The operator first repeated four; I kept that mismatch and the correction. The next message changed to Pool, two, SILVER and received a fresh read-back. My record includes both complete messages and confirmations, showing how the protocol survives changed information. Ask for missing information, correct the read-back and reconfirm changed instructions. Open "Read the finished work" or download the complete example to inspect the evidence and explanation together. The assigned roles hold different fields; the receiver must supply its own access condition. A confirmed example message cannot authorise it.
