How to do this drill
- Create one column per speaker.
- Record first position and later modification.
- Use the final responsibility assignment to verify names.
Material
- Nikhil
- We should survey residents before choosing new lobby furniture.
- Bea
- A survey is useful, but we need price ranges first or people may select options we cannot afford.
- Carmen
- I would begin with accessibility measurements because some current chairs are too low.
- Nikhil
- Then let us ask suppliers for three price levels while Carmen records measurements.
- Bea
- That works. I will draft the survey after those details arrive, so every choice is realistic and accessible.
Your tasks
- Assign each initial priority to the correct speaker.
- Explain the final sequence and each person's responsibility.

Answer
Nikhil proposes resident input, Bea requires realistic prices, and Carmen prioritizes accessibility. Suppliers and measurements come first; Bea then drafts the survey.
How to reach it
- Record initial positions separately.
- Track Bea's qualified support.
- Map the final sequence to named responsibilities.
Evidence
The compromise keeps all priorities: Nikhil coordinates price options, Carmen measures, and Bea delays the survey until inputs are usable.
Review your attempt
- Did any concern move to the wrong speaker?
- Does your sequence explain why the survey comes later?
Take it further
Retell the discussion from Carmen's perspective without changing anyone's position.
