## Quick answer

For recycling facilities, start with a **recycling load evidence register** for the receiving office supervisor. Keep load identity and supplied weights traceable while leaving material classification, acceptance, and processing decisions to facility staff. Righthand can help prepare the administrative draft from inputs you authorize; staff review its evidence and decide the next action.

## Three desk tasks

### 1. Match load paperwork

Connect tickets and receiving entries by load identifier. Flag a missing ticket rather than substitute one from a nearby arrival time.

### 2. Surface quantity discrepancies

Show gross, tare, and supplied net fields without inventing missing units. Return contradictory entries for staff reconciliation.

### 3. Prepare supplier questions

Draft an internal list of missing references or administrative corrections needed. Do not negotiate settlement or declare material acceptance.

## Who owns each handoff?

| Input | Proposed assistant deliverable | Responsible person |
| --- | --- | --- |
| approved receiving extract and weigh-ticket register | recycling load evidence register with record references | receiving office supervisor |
| 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 |
| --- | --- |
| Load Z-91: ticket records gross weight in one unit; extract net field uses an unlabeled unit. | Show the unit gap and request staff confirmation before preparing a quantity comparison. |
| Load Z-92: supplier delivered two loads on the same morning with different ticket numbers. | Keep separate entries and attach each ticket to its exact load ID. |
| Load Z-93: receiving entry is present but material acceptance remains under staff review. | Retain the pending review state and prepare an administrative evidence packet only. |

**Correction check:** Check the unit and ticket correspondence before any calculation. Correct arithmetic must not be presented as acceptance of a material category, a safety judgment, or a settlement instruction.

## Complete first-run brief

> Prepare a recycling load evidence register from approved receiving extract and weigh-ticket register. Cover October 12–16, 2026; use America/Los_Angeles for date cutoffs. Include these source fields: load ID, supplier, material label supplied by staff, gross and tare fields, ticket reference, reviewer. Trigger: Monday at 9 AM. Output: a source-linked Markdown draft in my private review thread, grouped by next action and owner. Reviewer: the receiving office supervisor. Flag missing fields or conflicting versions. Do not classify materials, approve acceptance, determine safety, or authorize financial adjustments. Do not send messages, change source records, or spend money. Result check: Check load IDs, ticket references, and units with the receiving supervisor before using the register.

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

Use one receiving shift and compare the register with the supervisor’s ticket-by-ticket review before settlement preparation. Weight units may differ across documents. Two loads from the same supplier on one day can be merged accidentally; retain separate load IDs. Do not classify materials, approve acceptance, determine safety, or authorize financial adjustments. When an input changes, rerun the affected comparison and retain its source reference; do not overwrite the authoritative operational record with a draft.
