P["The IT volunteer will reply to every report"] --> L["That is the promise"]
A["After the lab, Ruth asks for a quick reply template"] --> Q{"Was the template used on the eight messages?"}
Q -->|No| K["The request is later than the times"]
A promise and a template are two different objects, and neither is a stack of eight sent notes.

+-- no verdict text is invented
Learning outcomes
After this chapter, you should be able to:
- Keep the reply promise as a promise.
- Place the template request after the guided lab.
- Refuse a claim that eight replies were sent with that template.
19.1 The ask came after the clock had already stopped
The design of the route says the IT volunteer checks the report address daily and replies to every report with a short verdict and thanks. After the eight volunteers had been timed, Ruth asks for a quick reply template, because people said they like hearing back. A classmate writes that the template was used on all eight messages and drafts a verdict to paste into the note. The template was requested after those times. The file does not contain eight sent replies, and it does not contain the words of a verdict. Ruth does not invent them. The promise still stands for reports that come later. It is not evidence about the eight.
19.2 Worked example
Lesson table; scroll horizontally to read all columns →
| Item | When it sits | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| A short verdict and thanks for every report | The promise | May stay as a promise |
| A request for a quick template | After the lab | May stay as a request |
| "The template handled the eight." | Before the request existed | Refuse |
| A sample verdict written now | Not in the file | Do not invent the words |
Synthetic case. No reply text is drafted. The eight times stay a timing exercise.
Errors and limits
Separating the promise from the eight attempts does not cancel the promise. It stops the lab clock from being decorated with a tool that was requested later.
Apply
- EX065 — When was the template asked for? The IT volunteer is to reply to every report with a short verdict and thanks. Ruth asks for a quick reply template after the eight volunteers are timed. A teammate says the template produced eight replies. What is a promise, what is a later request, and what do you not invent?

Rubric: 3 = the reply rule is a promise; the template was requested after the lab; eight sent replies are not in the file; invent no verdict text;; 2 = the template is not evidence about the eight;; 1 = one of those;; 0 = none.
