## Quick answer

For event planning companies, start with a **supplier-decision readiness brief** for the event lead. Prepare the next supplier decision with its actual plan and budget context. Righthand can help prepare the administrative draft from inputs you authorize; staff review its evidence and decide the next action.

## Three desk tasks

### 1. Compare setup versions

Show room or plan disagreements.

### 2. Track approvals

List deposits and commitments still needing an owner’s decision.

### 3. Draft supplier questions

Retain headcount changes as scope questions until accepted.

## Who owns each handoff?

| Input | Proposed assistant deliverable | Responsible person |
| --- | --- | --- |
| approved event plan and supplier coordination register | supplier-decision readiness brief with record references | event lead |
| Missing or contradictory fields | Exception and source-linked question | Named source owner |
| Approved next step | Reviewable coordination draft | Staff authorize external action |

## Worked example: three records, three outcomes

The following inputs and outputs are synthetic, not customer results. Read them as a test packet for this desk.

| Illustrative source row | Useful worked output |
| --- | --- |
| Event E-71: venue offers room A but accepted event plan names room B. | Prepare a room/plan discrepancy for the event owner rather than change the setup. |
| Event E-72: supplier deposit request arrives before budget approval. | List payment approval outstanding and leave the request outside automatic action. |
| Event E-73: attendee count changed after the supplier brief was prepared. | Show the changed scope and its owner before revising commitments. |

**Correction check:** Check event ID and the accepted plan before updating supplier context. A new attendee count may need a budget or scope decision; preparing alternatives does not authorize commitments.

## Complete first-run brief

> Prepare a supplier-decision readiness brief from approved event plan and supplier coordination register. Cover October 12–16, 2026; use America/Los_Angeles for date cutoffs. Include these source fields: event ID, plan version, room, attendee-count version, commitment state, decision owner. Trigger: Monday at 9 AM. Output: a source-linked Markdown draft in my private review thread, grouped by next action and owner. Reviewer: the event lead. Flag missing fields or conflicting versions. Keep budgets, deposits, contracts, capacity, and safety decisions with the event owner. Do not send messages, change source records, or spend money. Result check: Match event/plan identity and approval states with the lead.

Replace the illustrative dates and source locations before running this task. Use an approved extract when a native connection and its exact actions have not been verified; the extract remains a snapshot, not live synchronization.

## First-week check and failure boundaries

Pilot one supplier coordination meeting and inspect the next three unresolved setup decisions with the event lead. New supplier offers may not match the accepted plan. Count changes can alter an approved scope. Keep budgets, deposits, contracts, capacity, and safety decisions with the event owner. When an input changes, rerun the affected comparison and retain its source reference; do not overwrite the authoritative operational record with a draft.
