# Observe the Blue Scribe's first handoff

**Status:** proposed formative evaluation; no learners observed yet.

Prepare two isolated Fractured Order training Sessions or two explicitly reset attempts. Provide a Blue Scribe seat and a receiving Facilitator. Use synthetic names and scenario inputs. The observer must not supply credentials or ask learners to alter a live exercise.

1. Give the participant the training code, role assignment, and first brief. Let them use the job aid or listening edition.
2. Ask: “Record Blue's Strategic Orientation and show that the next person can act on it.” Do not name the fields or controls during the attempt.
3. Record independent, assisted, or incomplete for each criterion below. Log a prompt when you supply it; required Facilitator actions are operational dependencies rather than instructional help.
4. Provide a different brief in the second Session. Repeat without step prompts and ask who owns the next submission.

| Criterion | Evidence |
|---|---|
| Role context | Enters the intended Blue Scribe workspace. |
| Own choice versus forecast | Records the two different choices in the correct fields. |
| Expected action | Records the brief's expected Red action in the narrative field. |
| Saved handoff | Checks the saved card and Forwarded to Facilitator state. |
| Responsibility boundary | Obtains receiver confirmation and identifies the Facilitator as the White Cell submitter. |
| Transfer | Applies the same distinctions to the changed brief without prompts. |

Record active task time separately from seat, network, and Facilitator waiting time. Taking an unintended role or treating the Scribe handoff as White Cell completion requires intervention and makes the attempt non-independent. Do not score strategic policy choices as right or wrong beyond their agreement with the supplied practice brief.

A first round of 5-8 representative newcomers can identify formative issues; it cannot establish a population success rate. Record access needs and experience without names, account details, or live Session codes. The CSV contains headers only. Revise instructions when prompts cluster around a checkpoint; record interface or operational defects separately. Report observations before claiming improvement.
