Define the competing event sequences and the state invariant each must preserve.
The artifact compares allowed event orders by an explicit invariant instead of demanding identical histories.

01 · Inspect the inputs
Every record stays visible
| Trace | Intermediate flags A/B | Final flags A/B | Expected unique count |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accept A; accept B | 1/0 | 1/1 | 2 |
| Accept B; accept A | 0/1 | 1/1 | 2 |

How the case leads to a decision
The two traces are the two permutations of the independent actions. Each action changes one different flag; both end at (1,1). Comparing journal text alone would confuse allowed order variation with a failed final invariant.
The bounded result
Both permitted orders should end with flags A=accepted and B=accepted and a unique accepted-obligation count of two. Their journal order may differ without violating that declared invariant.

Compare the decision quality
Illustrative before / afterSynthetic planning case: A toy batch contains independent obligations A and B, both initially unaccepted. Accepting either sets only its own flag. Two permitted serial orders are accept A then B, or accept B then A.
Each allowed trace checked against its declared final flags and unique obligation count.
Verify independence in the declared model
Owner role · Model owner
Evidence: Accept A changes only A; accept B changes only B.
Exercise both legal orders
Owner role · Rehearsal owner
Evidence: Intermediate and final flag vectors are retained for both traces.
Review the invariant separately from history
Owner role · Reviewer
Evidence: Unique count and final flags match, while different valid journal orders are preserved.
Decision to make: Both permitted orders should end with flags A=accepted and B=accepted and a unique accepted-obligation count of two. Their journal order may differ without violating that declared invariant.
Filled manual planning note
Invented planning text. Adapt it to your evidence and confirmed owners.
Both permitted orders should end with flags A=accepted and B=accepted and a unique accepted-obligation count of two. Their journal order may differ without violating that declared invariant. The two traces are the two permutations of the independent actions. Each action changes one different flag; both end at (1,1). Comparing journal text alone would confuse allowed order variation with a failed final invariant. No concurrent implementation, event timing or native task-state behavior is verified by the toy traces.
Put the outline to work
- Verify independence in the declared model. Check: Accept A changes only A; accept B changes only B.
- Exercise both legal orders. Check: Intermediate and final flag vectors are retained for both traces.
- Review the invariant separately from history. Check: Unique count and final flags match, while different valid journal orders are preserved.

Questions about this workflow
Does this test actual simultaneous races?
No. These are two serial order traces, not an implementation-level concurrency test.
Would a shared guard change the result?
It might. The independence assumption would need a different model and new expected traces.
Does this create tasks in the product?
No. The brief is a manual planning resource. Use the product access link to check onboarding and the workflows available in your account.
