These are extra fictional prompts, never actual hazard advice, local intelligence or official maps. Use one to connect a lesson to interests and settings beyond the core case; the target remains source→spatial inference→limit. All counts belong only to the sentence supplied. A student may choose any context without disclosing personal experience. For real places, replace the invention with a sourced, permission-cleared, current dataset and local guidance. No example below completes QCAA's authentic two-location case study.

Day Swap A · setting, prompt and worked guidance Swap B · different setting, prompt and worked guidance
1 Community garden: Model heavy rain leads to creek overflow; two planting beds sit in labelled M cells. State process→zone→exposure. Work: “overflow→M→two beds”; crop loss is unknown without actual depth/duration. Night-shift depot: A shaking scenario has three vehicle bays in a marked zone. Work: fault slip is a geological process; three bays are assets, not three injured workers or a recorded disaster.
2 Bike path on a slope: Invented saturated debris moves downslope and blocks one path segment. Work: geomorphic movement with possible rain influence; do not say every slope failure needs rain. Ferry port: Imagined fault rupture creates shaking at a coastal terminal. Work: distinguish geological rupture from exposure of the terminal; no tsunami is asserted from that information alone.
3 Food market grid: In a north-up 2×2 model, kiosk at A1 is west of clinic pop-up at B1; cells are 50 m wide. Work: one cell east is 50 m in the model, with no real location. Sports precinct: North-up cells B2 and B3 share a column; B3 is south. Work: a category key of H/M/L gives relative model zones only; H does not mean a measured depth.
4 Library branches: Fictional M cells contain 2, 1 and 4 book-drop sites. Work: 2+1+4=7 sites in M, not seven damaged libraries; conditions are unknown. Farm sheds: Model H cell has zero sheds, M has 3 and L has 5. Work: recorded shed exposure H0/M3/L5; “H is safe” fails because people, roads and livestock were not counted.
5 Festival access: If a fresh model grid has M stalls 4+6 and L stalls 8, Work: M=10 stall sites, L=8; it says nothing about visitors. Treat this as an optional new practice after File G, never a substitute for the held-out check. School supplies depot: Cells C1/C2 list 7 and 9 boxes while only C2 is H. Work: 9 boxes in the H-labelled cell, not 16; “boxes lost” is unsupported.
6 Telehealth clinic: Two fictional clinics share the same H label and 3 rooms each; one has tested backup power, the other has none recorded. Work: equal room exposure; backup is a capacity difference, but actual service continuity is unknown. Concert hall: Two halls each have 100 seats in M; one has a practised accessible notice channel, one has no record of testing. Work: compare channel evidence without assuming patrons' abilities or harm.
7 Food delivery: Scenario A onset 15 minutes/duration 1 hour, scenario B onset 12 hours/duration 2 days. Work: two dimensions differ; neither gives how often a closure occurs or whether food spoiled. Museum archive: A 45-second shaking scenario versus a 3-day water scenario. Work: duration alone cannot rank archive losses; construction, water level and protective systems are missing.
8 Pharmacy network: Fictional bridge B2 is closed; pharmacy C2 remains open. Work: being open does not establish access from west of B2; a verified alternate route is needed. Youth orchestra: A rehearsal space is in a lower-labelled cell but the only supplied equipment-van route crosses a closed M cell. Work: access may be disrupted even if the room itself is lower exposure.
9 Mobile meal service: 18 deliveries use a western route out of 40 total in a fictional brief. Work: 18 deliveries are route-linked, not 18 failed deliveries; ask the transport authority to verify an alternative before any instruction. Public pool: Two model sites have 12 assets in M, but only one has a tested warning relay. Work: an additional capacity difference merits checking; a national-income label cannot be inferred from it.
10 Art studio slope: New imagined toe-of-slope workshop has 5 stored works, with no building-stability data. Work: five exposed items in the model; no damage or individual safety conclusion. Use only as follow-up after File H. Outdoor market slope: Imagined uphill movement corridor passes a stall row; the table lists 6 stalls in corridor and 9 elsewhere. Work: six stall sites overlap the corridor, not six harmed sellers; a real site's geology and controls need expert evidence.

Teacher coaching: For every swap ask “Where is it? Why there? What is actually counted? What is the next source?” The worked line is a model of cautious geographic communication, not a final real-world risk estimate. Invite student-suggested domains such as craft, coding infrastructure, sport, caring work or public transport, then invent only bounded source facts and keep the same reasoning target.
