A confident total

You asked a prepared helper to total the workshop. It answered at once, and it sounds sure.

Before you use it, what would you check?

A confident total. You asked a prepared helper to total the workshop. It answered at once, and it sounds sure.

The line that shows why. Put the helper’s total beside the brief. One line explains the gap.

Make the budget card. Turn the brief into a card that someone else could check line by line.

A new task. Same room and the same $5 for materials, but now 8 people. What does it cost?

Keep the corrected reading. The $90 does not disappear. It stays in the record, marked contradicted here. Your card becomes the current reading only when you keep it.

Then beside now. Switch lenses. The earlier view shows only what was known at 10:02. A later reading is always marked as recorded later.

Five claims, then posters. Press TRUE, FALSE or CHECK for each claim, then see what the record says. Nothing is scored.

What a mentor sees. Choose what to offer a mentor. Only what you choose appears in their view. Nothing is sent.
