planning questions

Derived possibilities held for Maren's adjudication

  1. 01

    The Whitecap House venue has a narrow west-facing aisle. Maren can run a mock PAN simulation for a golden-hour ceremony exit and decide whether it becomes planning evidence.

    Open in forward model / Derived
  2. 02

    Adriana and Callum ask about an Outer Banks destination wedding. This aligns with Maren's long-term direction, but travel and weather uncertainty add planning load.

    Open in forward model / Derived
  3. 03

    A weekday editorial campaign is a strong portfolio fit and could feed Maren's destination/editorial direction. It also consumes prep and edit time before the August wedding.

    Open in forward model / Derived
  4. 04

    Benton & Slate ask for raw files and a discount. The date is open, but the request conflicts with Maren's non-negotiables.

    Open in forward model / Derived
  5. 05

    September has Maya and Theo's wedding plus potential editorial/family work. Maren can pre-authorize a second shooter bench or keep coverage fully solo.

    Open in forward model / Derived
  6. 06

    Past clients are asking about fall minis. Minis bring cash and repeat-client goodwill, but October already has wedding, album, and delivery commitments.

    Open in forward model / Derived
  7. 07

    Album orders and Q4 taxes hit at the same time. Maren can reserve conservatively, buy sample upgrades, or pull an owner draw.

the simulated season

Every deterministic choice lands in the append-only account

Maren declines the rush session, preserves two editing blocks, and keeps Greta/Daphne wedding delivery risk low.

Simulation Audit / Derived

Maren treats the simulation as Derived planning evidence, shifts exit 18 minutes earlier, and adds a venue walkthrough task.

PAN Reference Simulation / Derived

The couple accepts a premium collection with a weather scout call and PAN-style venue simulation included as planning support.

Simulation Audit / Derived

Maren books the campaign with a hard shot-list boundary, gaining portfolio momentum without large capacity drift.

Simulation Audit / Derived

Maren declines the condition, refers the lead, and preserves pricing and quality constraints.

Simulation Audit / Derived

Maren delegates limited shoot-day authority, reducing coverage risk at a predictable cost.

Simulation Audit / Derived

Maren opens a capped six-slot mini day and books it out quickly.

Simulation Audit / Derived

Maren protects Q4 obligations and keeps cash truthfully separated from spendable money.

what the seed already wrote

8 decisions ahead, 3 paths through them

Every figure below was authored into the seed. Stepping a path re-derives the states its author already computed — nothing here is predicted.

Holds the editing block, quotes the destination wedding at premium, takes the editorial on a tight scope, books a second shooter, caps minis at six.

Before any decision. Work booked this season $0.
