Check discovery coverage rather than counting conversations

Identify an unobserved operating role despite repeated interviews elsewhere.

Plan from the supplied facts

Original discovery needs evidence from day operators, night operators and supervisors. The synthetic log has five day conversations, zero night and one supervisor. A conversation counts only for its recorded role; repeated conversations do not fill another role. No population-representativeness claim is made.

Work through the choice

There are six conversations but only two of three required roles covered. A seventh day conversation raises activity without closing the night evidence gap.

Which next conversation closes the shown role-coverage gap?

Show the worked answer

A night operator conversation with evidence for that role. It raises represented required roles from two to three; it does not alone establish representative findings.

Material to use in your plan

Use required operating conditions as rows and link every observation to its condition. Report missing conditions separately from total conversation count.
