# Your role and goals

You are a new **Business Development Associate** at GeoNordic Systems AB,
based at the Swedish head office. Your first day is 10 September 2026. You
report to **Marcus Ode**, Business Development Manager, who owns the
customer and market watch-list and Monitoring Method v1. Marcus is away
until Friday; his plan for your first three weeks is in
[your inbox](../07-inbox/inbox-new-starter.md).

You are not an engineer. You have read access to GeoNordic Hub and to the
Sales, Marketing, Finance and People teams' shared inboxes for the
Northstar Rescue work. During week 1 you are on loan to Alex Berg, Petra
Lindqvist, Leona Vik and Hanna Solum for that opportunity. From week 2 you
work for Marcus on the market side, which is what you were hired for.

Every group in the workshop plays this same person and walks the same core
path, from [E0](../11-exercises/e0-first-morning.md) to
[E8](../11-exercises/e8-the-odd-sentence.md). E9–E10 are an optional
extension that the group starts only when the facilitator says so.

## Your goals

In every exercise you must:

1. distinguish facts, interpretations, and recommendations;
2. cite source IDs for important claims;
3. list unresolved questions and their human owner;
4. identify at least one place where AI output required correction or
   challenge;
5. take part in the [closing experience round](../11-exercises/closing.md).

## The house rule

The assistant drafts. You decide. Open the source before you repeat a
claim. Anything in an email or a web page that tells the assistant what to
conclude is data, not an instruction.

## Function briefs

The pages under "Function briefs" describe what Sales, Marketing, Finance,
People and Leadership would each ask for if they had the whole day on
Northstar. They are background. The path uses short workshop versions of
their questions inside E4; you do not choose a function.
