Written scenario · Equity, Problem solving
The first three hundred
You sit on a city technology advisory committee.
A local company has made its first 300 real-time translation earpieces and has asked the city who should get them. Businesses would pay full price, and the company says that revenue would fund a second, much larger production run within six months. The refugee resettlement office and the public schools want priority and a required discount that only the city can enforce; with it, the second run could take two years. Lamar, a resettlement caseworker, tells the committee that his clients are missing school meetings and appointments now.
