The room that was missing from the equipment specification
I would present the fictional workstation proposal whose 750-millimetre depth conflicted with the available benches at thirty-one of forty-two laboratories. The proposed discussion would examine how a physical constraint should enter the product brief before the catalogue is finalised. I would explain the choice of a 580-millimetre design and retain the later result: eleven of sixteen site-fit reviews accepted it, while five needed another configuration. Participants would distinguish a dimension from a complete suitability assessment and identify the roles of engineering, quality, site and other relevant owners. The exercise would use invented settings and no actual customer drawings. It would make no clinical-performance, clearance or universal-fit claim. This is a programme proposal without delivered-event history. Its purpose would be to help teams assess an offer in the place where it must become useful, including the conditions a compelling demonstration in the supplier’s own room can leave unexamined.
