**Purpose/product:** One source-linked care proposal and an accurate account of an optional actual small action. K04/S03/S05/S06; observed practical evidence conditional. Prepare O5, approved clean class-owned paper and reachable storage only if actual action is wanted. Adult chooses the ordinary suitable location/materials; no litter collection, child glass/tools/cleaning agents or peer monitoring.

**Invite 3:** “Could one little change help us find a paper label?” **Model 5:** O5 describes returned cards; a side pocket remains a plan. Make an unrelated ordinary label move if wanted and name who actually chose/moved it. A made label can still be untried; an unknown outcome is not automatically not tried.

**Guide/own 10:** Choose a paper model proposal or a small adult-approved class-material action. Keep the earlier arrangement/description before a wanted move. Try a chosen find task if wanted, using self-check or a genuinely willing reader. Record actual task/operator/result or not tried; if a try happened without an interpretable result, say result unknown. Do not infer everyone benefited.

**Three selectable mechanics:**

1. **Practical return-and-label:** Child chooses/directs returning a clean paper item to its approved labelled place. Observe only the action that actually occurs; helper movement remains separate.
2. **Paper-model repair:** Draw/arrange O5, keep a trace, propose one change, then optionally make/try it. Changing a model does not authorise real storage or grounds changes.
3. **Care account without moving:** Give an exact source-based before/idea account and needed check in usual communication or the blank bench. It can be complete reasoning while the physical plan is unmade.

**Compare 4:** Retain actual current/kept evidence if available; absence of an earlier trace prevents a before/after improvement claim. **Check 3:** “What did you choose? What actually happened, or has it not been tried?” If plan/made/tried blur, model three distinct ordinary scrap-label states; if child action becomes adult work, name the exact direction versus movement.
