  1. Open · 3 min. Core large-print/text/tactile access is already provided; ask what scarce resources remain for an extra: one showcase slot and $25 discretionary funds.
  2. Model · 5 min. A practice station costs $18 and leaves $7; B take-home cards cost $24 and leave $1. Both fit cap. Price is monetary cost; next-best option's possible benefit is opportunity cost under a stated ranking.
  3. Investigate · 8 min. List A's possible immediate-feedback benefit and B's possible repeat-practice benefit; both are unmeasured predictions. Choose two decision criteria without pretending access is optional.
  4. Choice · 10 min. D18-A/B/C: committee note, ranking cards or cost/benefit board. State rank1/rank2, exact arithmetic, one given-up benefit, condition to verify.
  5. Check · 6 min. If ranked B>A and B chosen, what is forgone? A's possible immediate-feedback benefit, not $24. Ask what still needs checking before an actual choice.
  6. Note · 3 min. Record whether price, remaining funds and opportunity cost stayed distinct; recheck with reversed ranking if not.

Later/home: Compare A/B on paper only. No real procurement or family cost disclosure.
