Answers and explanations

Compare these references after your own attempt. They are illustrative answers, not records of a live assistant run. You may read them at any time.

Independent transfer T6 Annotated reference

T6.4 repeats the same sign and owner; it is evidence for the first task, not another task. T6.3 establishes required work but neither volunteer becomes its owner. The workshop date in T6.1 does not establish a task due date. T6.5 is an unaccepted idea, and T6.6 is a decision, neither a task. The handout review is a clean case: its owner, due date, dependency and status are supported as written.

The register has three distinct agreed tasks and one confirmed Complete: 1 ÷ 3 × 100 = 33.3%. The unknown room-access status stays in the denominator. Ask the authorised coordinator who owns that check and what its current status is; the proposed question is not a sent message or an answer. Alternative task wording is acceptable when the source meaning and reconciliation remain intact.

Read this section after completing your own attempt. Equivalent faithful wording is acceptable. The reference tables show every required row, not samples.

Lesson pause answers

• Lesson 1: W6.3 explicitly says “Required task W03.” That establishes an action; missing ownership does not turn it into an unaccepted idea.
• Lesson 2: Three rows. The row unit is a distinct task, even when one person owns several.
• Lesson 4: W03 is a real required task, so it belongs in the whole set. No status establishes completion, so it does not enter the completed subset. Keep its unknown state visible.

Guided practice Complete reference register

All due dates below retain their supplied 2030 year. “[blank]” marks an empty original status field. “Not provided” is the review display for missing information. Original owner and due blanks are preserved in both the G6 notes and R6 register and listed in the change log.

Every owner, date, action and dependency is supported by the matching G6 note and R6 register row. Both inputs agree on those fields and the original status. G6.13 adds evidence for the same T04, not a different assignment. No source supplies an owner for T08 or a due date for T12. The dates are task deadlines, not claims about when the workshop takes place.

T03’s Complete status means the action “Request room confirmation” is recorded complete. It does not establish that the room is confirmed. T06 explicitly records a pending confirmation as its dependency. Those two facts are compatible.

The clarification questions are proposed only. This exercise does not ask you to contact anyone. Values already matching the dictionary do not need a change entry, though they still need source verification.

Guided practice Reconciliation and calculation

Source reconciliation:

• R6.01 through R6.12 match the actions, owners, dates, dependencies and original statuses in G6.01 through G6.12 respectively. The two inputs agree, including the blank fields. Each matched pair describes one distinct task, T01 through T12, producing 12 review-register rows.
• G6.13 is the repeated T04 mention. It is attached to that row and excluded as an additional task.
• G6.14 is the one-desk decision. Record it separately; there is no extra task to count.
• G6.15 is an unaccepted second-projector suggestion. Record it separately; it creates no task or owner.
• All 15 meeting-note entries are accounted for: 12 distinct-task entries + 1 duplicate entry + 1 decision + 1 suggestion. All 12 supplied register rows are matched to those tasks, so the 27 total input entries do not represent 27 tasks.

Counts by review status:

Review status Task IDs Count in tasks --------------- ---------------------------- ---------------- Complete T01, T02, T03, T07, T11 5 In progress T04, T09, T12 3 Not started T05, T10 2 Blocked T06 1 Not provided T08 1 Total T01 through T12, once each 12

Calculation record:

• Snapshot: G6, 2 October 2030.
• Included group: All 12 distinct agreed or required tasks, T01 through T12.
• Numerator: 5 tasks mapped to Complete: T01, T02, T03, T07 and T11.
• Denominator: 12 distinct included tasks. T08 stays included even though its status is missing.
• Missing status: 1 task, T08. This is a status gap, not a confirmed unfinished status.
• Arithmetic: 5 ÷ 12 × 100 = 41.666…%, rounded to 41.7%.
• Cross-check: 5 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 12, matching the included task count.

Reference report:

“Five of the 12 distinct tasks in G6 are recorded Complete, or 41.7%. T08 has no recorded status and is included in the denominator; its owner and T12’s due date are also not provided.”

A learner’s calculator check should record that they verified 5 divided by 12 multiplied by 100. The arithmetic in this reference is supplied teaching material; it is not evidence that a learner performed that check.

Guided practice Why the tempting reports fail

1. There are 13 task mentions but only 12 distinct tasks. G6.13 repeats T04. Counting it as another task would count one commitment twice. Keeping both original notes does not require counting both as separate work.
2. Five divided by 11 does round to 45.5%, but it measures the proportion Complete among tasks with known status. That is a different denominator from the requested all-distinct-tasks rule. Dropping T08 hides the missing-status problem and fails the agreed measure. The requested answer is 5 of 12, or 41.7%.

Neither error is repaired just by asking the assistant for a more confident answer. Fix the row set or the inclusion rule, then recalculate.

The source column accounts for the origin of every row. Each named owner, action, dependency and supplied November 2030 date is taken from that row’s note. The two gaps are not replaced with invented assignments or deadlines. A08’s dependency does not establish its status.

Every changed original status remains in the register, including both A04 source references. The original pack preserves the empty owner and date fields. A03, A09 and A11 already use the review vocabulary, so no status change is necessary for them.

Independent assignment Reconciliation and calculation

• I6.01 through I6.12 become A01 through A12: 12 distinct task rows.
• I6.13 is an additional mention of A04, not another task.
• I6.14 is a decision to use paper name cards, retained outside the task count.
• I6.15 is an unaccepted second-session suggestion, retained outside the task count.
• All 15 source entries are reconciled: 12 distinct-task entries + 1 duplicate + 1 decision + 1 suggestion.

Review status Task IDs Count in tasks --------------- ------------------------------ ---------------- Complete A01, A03, A04, A06, A09, A12 6 In progress A02, A10 2 Not started A05, A11 2 Blocked A07 1 Not provided A08 1 Total A01 through A12, once each 12

• Numerator: 6 distinct tasks recorded Complete, with IDs listed above.
• Denominator: All 12 distinct agreed or required tasks. Missing status does not remove A08.
• Missing-status count: 1, A08.
• Calculation: 6 ÷ 12 × 100 = 50.0%, displayed to one decimal place.
• Group-count check: 6 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 12.

Reference final two sentences:

“Six of the 12 distinct tasks in I6 are recorded Complete, or 50.0%. A08’s owner and status and A11’s due date are not provided; A08 remains in the denominator.”

If you count both A04 mentions, you get seven completed mentions out of 13 task mentions, or approximately 53.8%. That arithmetic describes the duplicated mentions, not the requested distinct tasks. If you omit A08 instead, 6 ÷ 11 × 100 is approximately 54.5%; that changes the denominator and fails this exercise’s rule. Preserve the source entries while calculating from the reconciled task set.

Self-check answers

1. An action is work explicitly agreed or required. An unaccepted suggestion is an idea, and does not supply approval, an owner or a deadline.
2. One distinct task. A person can appear on several rows; a repeated mention of the same task does not create another row.
3. The original shows the evidence exactly as received. The review status makes permitted grouping possible while keeping the transformation inspectable.
4. No. It states only that the notes record no dependency. Do not convert absence of a record into certainty about the work.
5. No. Compare IDs and material fields, and look for evidence that the entry is repeated. Similar wording may describe separate tasks.
6. A blank supplies no state. Not started is a specific state that requires evidence. Use Not provided and flag the gap.
7. It stays in the denominator because it is still a distinct task. It does not enter the numerator because completion is not recorded.
8. The numerator is the number of included tasks recorded Complete. The denominator is the whole included group of distinct tasks under the stated rule.
9. Preserve both records and flag an unresolved conflict. Ask for authoritative clarification before claiming one status is current or calculating a definitive affected count. Do not assume the last record wins.
10. The rule counts tasks equally. It does not measure task size, quality, risk, effort or whether the event can proceed. Those would need different evidence and definitions.
11. A unit, such as minutes or hours, and a clear meaning such as estimated or actual effort. Without them, the numbers cannot be safely compared or added.

Recap and next step

A reliable register accounts for every source entry, preserves original values and shows which changes are proposed. A reliable percentage names its row unit, included group, completed subset, missing information and arithmetic.

Keep the original notes, complete register, change log and calculation record together. In the next module, use this evidence trail when combining your prompting, drafting and checking skills into a repeatable workplace workflow.
