What happened before the screen said received?
Participants follow an invented submission from a field device to the receiving service. At several points the screen could plausibly display success, but the evidence for each claim differs. The group must decide what the user may safely conclude and what action the state is likely to prompt. It then explains the difference to a colleague who did not participate in the design review.
The fictional offline-intake case introduces eighty scripted scenarios and a senior sponsor who has already approved a familiar pattern. Teams consider how a reviewer can challenge that decision, what should be withheld and how to explain a six-week delay without claiming a live customer incident. The five unsupported scenarios after retesting remain part of the account.
This is a workshop about product judgement and responsibility, not an assessment of an actual insurer's intake service. The organiser would agree a synthetic scenario and involve people who understand the receiving process. No customer documents are required. The intended output is a short explanation of the event each acknowledgement represents, the evidence for it and the handling route when that evidence has not yet arrived.
