Where you are
You are planning Wednesday with the team coordinator. A building technician must enter your apartment during a five-hour service window.
Escenario 6 · Rol B
quien solicita trabajar desde casa
You can meet both deadlines while staying home until early afternoon
Esta ficha es solo tuya. La otra persona tiene objetivos y datos distintos. No intercambien pantallas hasta terminar.
Prepared and flexible. You need one remote day for a home repair. You start. About 10 turns · 8 minutes.
Your screen only. Don't show it. Explain the repair window, offer a complete remote review plan and identify what you can prepare before leaving today.
Tu información
Lo que sabes y lo que necesitas
You want
You want to work remotely Wednesday, finish the client report and remain available for decisions without missing the technician.
You can't
- Leave home before the technician finishes or arrives.
- Ask someone else to approve the financial assumptions you developed.
- Carry the sealed client folder home.
Only you know
- The technician window is 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.; missing it creates a two-week delay.
- The report draft and secure financial workbook are already available remotely.
- You can prepare and label the courier folder before 5:30 today and come to the office after 3:00 p.m. if truly necessary.
If you finish with nothing
You either miss an urgent home repair or appear unavailable while the report and folder still depend on your information.

Closing criterion
Close when both people record the same seven details:
- The remote-work period and technician window.
- Who prepares the sealed folder and when.
- Who signs for the courier and the pickup window.
- The replacement financial reviewer.
- The video-review time and decision log.
- The Thursday report deadline.
- The backup if remote review fails.
Success: You explain the full service window and two-week consequence, prepare the folder Tuesday and commit to a secure two-person review. You provide a limited office fallback without weakening the report deadline.
