When the briefing ends, judgment begins. Choose the situation, set the conditions, work through the calls. About ten minutes, free, nothing collected.

The Unwritten Brief
Choose the situation. Set the conditions. Work through the calls.
Each situation has its own conditions and its own judgment calls. The five things being looked at stay the same, so you can compare across them.
There's no trick option. Pick what you would actually do.
Scored against the response that best preserves both the relationship and the outcome. A prompt for reflection, not a verdict.
