Fiction: Theo plans a pretend shop sign. One proposal includes a broad PAUSE cue to retain unfinished work; another is a described routine that finishes the sign before putting it in the keep place. There is no actual use or completion. Ask how the actions differ and what each plan leaves ready. Invite an own routine chosen for the real learner's wanted pace. A pause is a valid choice, not evidence of poor learning. If the plans are only renamed, point to the different stopping/continuation relationship.
