Goal: compare an actually prior prediction with a genuine observed result if available, or explain why a model cannot substitute. Proposed codes: AC9SFI01, AC9SFI04 (actual prior/result only), AC9SFI03. Prepare: true dated Day 124 record if one exists or H alone, path record, Card 127.

Source · 3 min. Separate genuine dated actual record, attributed ADULT REPORT and H FICTIONAL MODEL.
Prior status · 4 min. Find the child's prediction timestamp/order before real action or write NO PRIOR PREDICTION.
Adult model · 5 min. Within H only, compare pretend “no stop” with invented “stopped at MIDDLE”, clearly saying MODEL.
Child try · 7 min. Card 127 routes compare the child's real earlier words with their actual observed path if both exist; otherwise explain why comparison is unavailable and use H for model reading.
Probe · 4 min. Ask whether a prediction made after seeing the pad can be counted as prior. Record repair, not a guessed earlier prediction.
Exit · 2 min. Keep SAME / DIFFERENT / UNCLEAR / CANNOT COMPARE with explicit source.
