Goal: design a separate access-aware route-marker observation without assuming anyone used it. Proposed codes: AC9SFH01, AC9SFI01, AC9SFI05 (question/share only; route performance is not a Science property result). Prepare: route proposal, M, optional locally approved bounded room view, Card 108.

  1. Site/consent gate · 3 min. Adult checks school permission, supervision, privacy, existing safety signage and accessibility. A paper plan is the default; do not replace evacuation or wayfinding instructions.
  2. Question · 4 min. Ask whether an arrow at a chosen safe place is noticed/understood from a specified viewpoint; this differs from whether it droops.
  3. Model · 5 min. Adult fills a paper plan for source/date/view/access and what could be recorded, without inventing a user response.
  4. Child try · 7 min. Card 108 routes propose one accessible check. Only if separately approved and genuinely observed may an adult record actual placement and a willing viewer's exact report; otherwise mark ROUTE OBSERVATION NOT AVAILABLE.
  5. Check · 4 min. Ask whether a child following a paper arrow proves a real route is safe. Child names supervised local route and actual viewer evidence as separate.
  6. Exit · 2 min. Keep plan or dated actual observation, privacy protected.
