Situation
A transit control room sees sudden crowding after a line closure. Historic patterns suggest one diversion, but live accessibility reports contradict it.
Method constraint
Equating OODA with acting fastest, or bypassing legitimate authority and harm checks.
Constraints
- State assumptions and protect affected people.
- Do not treat the method artifact as causal proof.
Case steps
Work through each prompt using the evidence pack. These guided cases support self-directed practice; server-scored attempts are not available yet.
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.
