Where you are
You lead the workshop. The ordered rear brake caliper arrived in the wrong model, so repair order B-318 cannot pass inspection.
Escenario 15 · Rol B
quien dirige el taller
You cannot release the repaired bicycle without the correct brake part
Esta ficha es solo tuya. La otra persona tiene objetivos y datos distintos. No intercambien pantallas hasta terminar.
Accountable and safety-focused. A promised repair is not complete. They start. About 10 turns · 9 minutes.
Your screen only. Don't show it. Explain the failed part delivery, then offer only a loan bike you can fit, inspect and document.
Tu información
Lo que sabes y lo que necesitas
You want
You want to protect the cyclist’s race without releasing unsafe equipment or hiding the new repair date.
You can't
- Install an incompatible caliper or disable the rear brake.
- Loan a bicycle before recording its condition and rider fit.
- Promise the next delivery before the courier confirms it.
Only you know
- A demonstration road bike has a 54 cm frame and is insured for customer loans.
- It currently has clip-in pedals, but flat pedals can be installed in fifteen minutes.
- The workshop can waive the loan fee and hold the cyclist’s own bike as the loan deposit.
If you finish with nothing
The customer misses the race after a workshop delay, while a safe insured substitute remains unused.

Cuándo terminar
Closing criterion
Close when both people record the same eight details:
- Demo bike identity and 54-centimeter frame.
- Flat pedals and 73.5-centimeter saddle height.
- Passed brake/steering inspection and test ride.
- Zero loan fee and deposit method.
- Saturday collection time.
- Sunday return deadline and condition.
- Monday caliper arrival.
- Named time for the next B-318 update.
Success: You release neither incompatible parts nor an unfitted loan. You document the demo bike, install flat pedals, complete inspection and test ride, waive the fee and assign a real update deadline for B-318.
