Target: classify internal, external operating and macro environmental factors from stated evidence, and flag when a macro claim is only hypothetical. Prepare: Cards B/C/D and environment/SWOT mat.
- Launch · 2 min. Put StageKit's limited maintenance hours and venue enquiry side by side. Ask which is within its own operation.
- Model · 4 min. Limited maintenance capacity is internal; the particular venue enquiry is external operating. A broad economy-wide shift would be macro if supported by evidence; these cards do not report one.
- Guided reading · 5 min. Sort B's one printer (internal), named competitor advert (external operating), C's one comment (external stakeholder evidence). Don't promote a single comment to a macro trend.
- Practice route · 7 min. Choose Day 4 route; sort four cited facts across B/C/D and write one missing macro-data question.
- Audit · 4 min. Partner changes a local competitor into a general legal factor; learner repairs scope and names the information that could support a macro claim.
- Exit · 3 min. “Is StageKit's one maintenance person internal or macro?” Key: internal, with a capacity implication to investigate.
