Situation
A theme-park operator reports perfect control checks, yet night staff repeatedly bypass a failing alert to keep visitor flow moving.

Frame the decision and identify the affected actors and evidence gaps.
Apply the method to compare at least two interpretations or responses.
Choose one bounded next test, its owner, safeguard and rejection signal.
