D03 — Dispatch board, 3 January

The attached baseline allocations cover the full twelve weeks. Edda skips Kestrel; Tam works the West circuit and Fen the East. Niall skips Morrow; Bo handles stores and Tam laboratory deck work. Suri and Fen handle repairs. All stated people are qualified for those assignments. Five available days per operational person and vessel is a hard weekly cap in this exercise, not a recommendation about actual operations.

Only aggregate weekly days are modelled. There are no invented routes, travel times, daylight models, tides or real-world safety claims. A named week is the whole service window. Each vessel workday uses two distinct people for the same duration, one qualified skipper and one qualified deck person. Science and repairs additionally need one member of the assigned pair with the relevant team capability. A spare skipper cannot automatically operate another vessel.

A dispatch row means scheduled. After the simulated week, a separate receipt may say simulated_performed, failed or unperformed, with the source of that observation. A plan is not a performance receipt. Work already done retains its allocation ID; corrections link to the original.

Mara's pencil note: “The board has room. My phone does not. Those may be different problems.”
