## Quick answer

For interpreter agencies, start with an **interpreter booking readiness pack** for the language-services coordinator. Keep language, modality, and local time explicit before staff confirm an interpreter assignment. 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 language inputs

Flag disagreements between the client brief and copied booking notes.

### 2. Prepare modality questions

List remote links or location details absent from the approved brief.

### 3. Organize assignment context

Prepare staff review material without deciding professional suitability.

## Who owns each handoff?

| Input | Proposed assistant deliverable | Responsible person |
| --- | --- | --- |
| approved booking list and client brief | interpreter booking readiness pack with record references | language-services coordinator |
| 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 |
| --- | --- |
| Booking I-101: brief names Spanish; a copied assignment line names Portuguese. | Flag the language mismatch for the agency coordinator before preparing any assignment pack. |
| Booking I-102: remote session time is shown without a time zone in client correspondence. | Return the missing time-zone question rather than assume the coordinator’s local time. |
| Booking I-103: two interpreters are proposed but none is approved for the booking. | Keep the assignment unresolved and organize the staff decision inputs without ranking suitability. |

**Correction check:** Verify language, time zone, modality, and booking ID together. Do not treat availability or a matching label as evidence of interpreter qualification for the particular assignment.

## Complete first-run brief

> Prepare an interpreter booking readiness pack from approved booking list and client brief. Cover October 12–16, 2026; use America/Los_Angeles for date cutoffs. Include these source fields: booking ID, language, time zone, modality, supplied requirements, assignment state. Trigger: Monday at 9 AM. Output: a source-linked Markdown draft in my private review thread, grouped by next action and owner. Reviewer: the language-services coordinator. Flag missing fields or conflicting versions. Keep interpreter qualification, assignment acceptance, rates, and professional judgments with staff. Do not send messages, change source records, or spend money. Result check: Check booking ID, language, modality, and confirmed local-time interpretation.

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 day’s booking preparation and inspect language and modality conflicts before the coordinator confirms assignments. Language labels and time zones can be copied incorrectly. Availability does not establish qualification for an assignment. Keep interpreter qualification, assignment acceptance, rates, and professional judgments with staff. When an input changes, rerun the affected comparison and retain its source reference; do not overwrite the authoritative operational record with a draft.
