# Revisit an option before its actual expiry

Illustrative planning brief; no automatic product import.

Synthetic planning case: A supplier offers an external optional review slot through the end of day 5. The team schedules its evidence checkpoint at day 7 and plans to decide about that slot afterwards.

## Decision

The day-7 checkpoint cannot exercise the stated option. Arrange a decision while the option remains available, negotiate a new expiry, or explicitly remove it from the day-7 alternatives.

## Owned work

- Verify the option boundary
  - Owner role: Coordinator
  - Acceptance evidence: The supplier’s exact expiry and reservation terms are retained.
- Align evidence and decision timing
  - Owner role: Decision owner
  - Acceptance evidence: The choice occurs before expiry or names a verified revised offer.
- Update the later alternatives
  - Owner role: Planner
  - Acceptance evidence: The day-7 list excludes the expired original slot unless renewed.

## Workflow

1. Verify the option boundary. Check: The supplier’s exact expiry and reservation terms are retained.
2. Align evidence and decision timing. Check: The choice occurs before expiry or names a verified revised offer.
3. Update the later alternatives. Check: The day-7 list excludes the expired original slot unless renewed.

## Judgment

The deadline is invented and does not establish any real supplier commitment or contract interpretation.


## Filled manual planning note

The day-7 checkpoint cannot exercise the stated option. Arrange a decision while the option remains available, negotiate a new expiry, or explicitly remove it from the day-7 alternatives. Day 7 follows the end of day 5. Retaining an option name on a later decision list does not extend its availability; a renewal needs separate evidence. The deadline is invented and does not establish any real supplier commitment or contract interpretation.


## Working artifact

- Offer boundary / End of day 5 / Verify actual terms
- Evidence boundary / Day 7 / Cannot use expired option
- Renewal alternative / Separate supplier confirmation / Retain evidence before relisting


## Workflow questions

### Does deciding before expiry force acceptance?

No. It creates an opportunity to choose; evidence may still support declining.

### Can a reminder preserve the option?

Not by itself. Availability follows the actual terms, not a reminder date.

## Product connection

Use the owned checks and downloaded brief to discuss this planning decision alongside your TeamBoostAI tasks. Confirm available fields, roles and account features separately. The example is manual; it does not calculate live analytics, create work or run an experiment in the product.

Confirm account availability before adopting this manual outline.

### Inspect the invented case records

Event | Boundary | Option availability
--- | --- | ---
Review slot expires | End of day 5 | Available only through stated boundary
Evidence checkpoint | Day 7 | Original slot expired
Revised choice | Before expiry or renewed offer | Must verify the actual available option

### Reasoning

Day 7 follows the end of day 5. Retaining an option name on a later decision list does not extend its availability; a renewal needs separate evidence.

### Bounded result

The day-7 checkpoint cannot exercise the stated option. Arrange a decision while the option remains available, negotiate a new expiry, or explicitly remove it from the day-7 alternatives.

### Distinct decision

This checks whether a decision’s alternatives still exist at its planned checkpoint, distinct from merely scheduling a follow-up.

### Limits

The deadline is invented and does not establish any real supplier commitment or contract interpretation.
