The work, the way a network engineering team does it.

- Fix it, test it from a PC, and hand it over.
A shift
How a shift runs.
- 01
The ticket opens
Someone on the network reports a problem, or a work order asks for a change. The switch and the PCs are live.
- 02
You work the network
Look at the switch and the PCs, make the change, and test it from a PC.
- 03
You are checked
On whether it works now, how you got there, what else you changed, and your handover note.
The grading
What you are checked on: 6 parts.
- Whether the network works when you hand it over
- Whether you looked before changing anything, and tested after
- Whether you changed anything you should not have
- How many steps it took
- What you did with the AI's suggestion
- Your handover note
Each checked shift adds to your Shift Record. The handover note is scored by AI trained for this work, like the rest of the shift. If you dispute a score, it is checked again, and a person reviews any the second check does not settle.

The work, and the job it matches
Take a ticket: a PC that cannot reach anything, or a port to set up.
Network technicians work a ticket queue like this every day.
Look at the switch and the PCs before you change anything.
Finding the fault from evidence is the core skill.
Make the change, test it, and write the handover.
A change nobody tested, or nobody can follow, is the change that breaks things.
