Welcoming a Late Recruit Without Restarting Every Trial
This is an invented planning exercise, not a customer event or testimonial.
Background and constraints
A fictional gathering expects one participant to arrive after the opening. The host wants the story to remain welcoming rather than punish the late guest with a confusing missed ceremony.

Planning process
The organizer prepares a written welcome card and independent paper trials. The late guest receives a brief explanation from the welcome mentor and joins the current activity. The host explicitly adjusts the entry condition from the default all-trials wording to the published any-two rule in project notes.
Result explanation
The default planner condition is a starting rule and must be reconciled with the actual host policy. Independent tasks make catch-up possible without interrupting everyone. Equal welcome rewards avoid turning arrival time into fictional worth.
Alternative
Use a neutral observer route and a private welcome after the main activity if joining mid-trial would be disruptive.
Execution notes
Do not announce private reasons for lateness. Give the participant the same safety and practical briefing even when the story introduction is shortened.
