The screen, the questions and the judgments read in English where an English reading has been made. The Korean originals are unchanged, and evidence stays in the language it was written in.

One who wants to stay and one who wants to come in, one seat

Realistic synthesis

The people, events, figures, and contract terms are a synthetic premise. They are not statements of real cases or of current law. The source documents are the roots of the background and the norms and do not establish the premises of the scenario.

The question to decide

There are skilled members who want to keep working past retirement and new applicants waiting to enter, but the cooperative's budget supports only one regular position. New people need training, and splitting the seat leaves both short of the income they want. To whom, and in what form, should the cooperative assign this one seat?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Extend the existing contract

    Continues skill and the stakeholder's livelihood, but postpones the chance for new entry to next year.

  2. Option 2

    Hire a new member

    Opens a new path, but loses the existing member's income and accumulated knowledge.

  3. Option 3

    Split the position in two

    Attempts to transfer experience and enable entry together, but creates income shortfalls for two people and coordination costs.

The situation as it stands

The cooperative's budget can support only one regular position, and the existing member wants to keep working. Decision deadline: within 40 days, before the contract renewal.

2026 synthetic scenario · After retirement, one position collides with young people's entry. The people, organizations, figures, and events are fictional.

  2. Premise 2A new applicant waiting in line brings different experience but needs training in the essential tasks.

What is still unknown

  1. Unknown 1The minimum hours needed after the work is split

Signals to decide again

  • Define what observations, owners, and confirmation windows will verify “the income and roles the stakeholders can accept,” and re-judge if a new confirmation changes the tradeoffs among the options.
  • Define what observations, owners, and confirmation windows will verify “alternative ways to pass on existing experience,” and re-judge if a new confirmation changes the tradeoffs among the options.

How does the community justify time not worked?

An exploratory perspective chosen by the creator. Does not claim supernatural validity or the superiority of any particular option.
Values and norms

The benefits and costs of the options accrue to different stakeholders. Which loss to accept remains undecided.

A subject for the decision-maker to argue over; the materials carry no conclusion of their own.
