Where you are
You own the only working mobile hotspot in the room. It has limited data until the plan renews at midnight.
Escenario 18 · Rol A
quien comparte los datos móviles
The remaining data must cover the presentation and the trip home
Esta ficha es solo tuya. La otra persona tiene objetivos y datos distintos. No intercambien pantallas hasta terminar.
Helpful but careful. Coworking internet has failed before a client call. They start. About 10 turns · 8 minutes.
Your screen only. Don't show it. Protect emergency and travel use, then allocate data by task instead of sharing the password with no limits.
Tu información
Lo que sabes y lo que necesitas
You want
You want the essential client presentation to continue while reserving enough data for transport and emergency communication afterward.
You can't
- Allow an unrestricted video call or cloud backup.
- Use the final data before confirming the actual remaining balance.
- Finish the presentation with no data left for a safe trip home.
Only you know
- Your ride app and map usually use about 120 MB on the trip home.
- You need 180 MB reserved for an urgent family video call if your father’s caregiver contacts you.
- The hotspot can limit each connected device and show live usage.
If you finish with nothing
The client call fails completely or the presentation consumes the connection needed for transport and urgent family contact.

Cuándo terminar
Closing criterion
Close with a partial presentation plan when both people record:
- Verified balance: 1.2 GB.
- Protected reserve: 300 MB.
- Laptop cap: 900 MB and internal switch warning.
- One connected laptop and cameras off.
- Offline slides, budget tables and one live refresh.
- Phone-audio fallback.
- Client A/B decision and written record.
- Archive upload and full video deferred until stable internet.
Success: You confirm the real balance, preserve 300 MB and connect one controlled device. You fund only essential live functions and end with transport and family reserves intact.

- Resuman lo que el cliente sí hará hoy y lo que queda aplazado.
