Record observed interval coverage and width without asserting future coverage from a tiny sample.
The guide checks interval membership and width rather than a percentile of completed-item history.

Start with the invented evidence, follow the reasoning, and retain its limits when adapting the brief.

How the case leads to a decision
Inside count=3 of 4. Coverage=3/4=75%; mean width=(2+2+4+1)/4=2.25 days. Coverage alone ignores how wide the ranges are.
The bounded result
Three of four outcomes fall inside the displayed ranges, or 75% observed sample coverage. Preserve widths and the missed case; four invented outcomes do not establish future coverage.

Every record stays visible
| Case | Inclusive range days | Actual days | Inside? | Width days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 2–4 | 3 | Yes | 2 |
| B | 3–5 | 6 | No | 2 |
| C | 4–8 | 5 | Yes | 4 |
| D | 2–3 | 3 | Yes, at endpoint | 1 |

Retain misses and widths
Owner role · Reviewer
Evidence: B is outside and all four interval widths remain visible.
Limit the confidence statement
Owner role · Planning lead
Evidence: The 75% figure is descriptive of this toy set and is not a calibrated next-task probability.
Decision to make: Three of four outcomes fall inside the displayed ranges, or 75% observed sample coverage. Preserve widths and the missed case; four invented outcomes do not establish future coverage.
Filled manual planning note
Invented planning text. Adapt it to your evidence and confirmed owners.
Three of four outcomes fall inside the displayed ranges, or 75% observed sample coverage. Preserve widths and the missed case; four invented outcomes do not establish future coverage. Inside count=3 of 4. Coverage=3/4=75%; mean width=(2+2+4+1)/4=2.25 days. Coverage alone ignores how wide the ranges are. The ranges are supplied predictions without a verified probabilistic model. No confidence or prediction-interval calibration is established.
Put the outline to work
- Record the endpoint convention. Check: Both ends are inclusive; D’s actual three is therefore inside.
- Retain misses and widths. Check: B is outside and all four interval widths remain visible.
- Limit the confidence statement. Check: The 75% figure is descriptive of this toy set and is not a calibrated next-task probability.
Questions about this workflow
Could very wide ranges improve coverage?
They can contain more outcomes while becoming less useful; retain width and the decision purpose.
Does 75% mean the next forecast is 75% reliable?
No. A tiny synthetic sample cannot establish that future probability.
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.
