Fractured Order: Blue Scribe's first handoff
Your task: record Blue's Strategic Orientation and verify that the Facilitator has received it. The Scribe records the team's decision; the Facilitator submits it to White Cell.
Before you start
Use the Fractured Order address and training Session Code supplied by your exercise team. Have an agreed display name, an assigned Blue / Scribe seat, and Blue's training brief. Ask the Operator to provide a separate practice Session and a Facilitator to receive your handoff. Do not use this exercise in a live simulation.
The decision belongs to the team. This guide teaches how to record and hand it over, not which strategy will win. Do not apply these Blue instructions to Red, Green, or Industry: their orientation forms differ.
Join the right workspace
- On Join Session, enter Session Code and Display Name. Use Check session to resolve the Session.
- Choose Blue, then the visible Scribe role. Select Join Session.
- Confirm the team and role in the workspace. Start Here provides role-specific help; minimize it when you are ready to work.
If joining fails: confirm the supplied code and your assigned seat with the Operator. Scribe is a single-seat role. Do not take the Facilitator seat or change the URL to get around an occupied seat.
Record the three parts
Open Strategic Orientation in the Scribe workspace. Keep the team's own choice separate from its forecast of another team.
| Field | What to record |
|---|---|
| Choose Blue's orientation | The catalogue orientation Blue has agreed to pursue. |
| Forecast Red's orientation | The catalogue orientation the team expects Red to pursue. This is a forecast, not Red's actual decision. |
| Describe what you expect Red to do | The actions Blue expects under that forecast. Record the team's reasoning in its own words. |
Read the catalogue descriptions before choosing. Check all three entries against the brief, then select Record Strategic Orientation. If the form identifies a missing field, complete that field before trying again.
Check the handoff
Look for Strategic Orientation forwarded to Facilitator and the orientation card in the action list. Inspect its saved choices and expected-action description. The lifecycle label Forwarded to Facilitator establishes the handoff stage.
Ask the assigned Facilitator to confirm receipt in Team Action Review. Explain the boundary: the Facilitator reviews and submits to White Cell. Your handoff is not evidence that White Cell has received, accepted, or completed the record. It does not by itself authorize the team to advance to Move 1.
If a save or connection error appears: inspect the action list before resubmitting. A failed notification does not prove that no record was saved. If the saved record is missing or inconsistent, pause and contact the Facilitator or Operator; do not create a competing record or edit an implementation identifier.
Practise, then transfer
Guided attempt - synthetic practice data: Blue chooses Pressure; Blue forecasts Stabilization for Red; the expected action is “Red will preserve market access while limiting escalation.” Use this only in the supplied training Session. It is sample data, not advice for a real exercise.
Independent attempt: the Facilitator supplies a second training brief with different choices and an expected action. Without prompting, identify the own-choice and forecast fields, record the new brief in a reset or separate practice Session, verify the handoff, and explain who acts next.
Completion evidence: show the intended team/role, the correct three saved inputs, the handoff state, and the receiving Facilitator's confirmation. Merely opening the form or seeing a success toast is insufficient.
Reset: the Operator supplies or resets the training Session. Leaving a browser page is not a reset. This guide provides no production reset command.
The verification record documents the inspected revision and the limits of the local rehearsal. The observation protocol defines how to assess independent performance.
