# E1 · Four facts for Marcus — scoped source bundle Synthetic GeoNordic Hub source material for this exercise. The exercise instructions and any participant-generated answers are separate. ## Workshop brief / Scenario: Northstar Rescue 2026 Source ID: BRIEF-001 · Date: 2026-09-10 · Owner: Workshop lead · Status: authoritative workshop brief · File: participant/00-brief/scenario.md GeoNordic Systems AB develops the fictional **Atlas Response Suite**, used to combine maps, field reports, and observations during complex operations. The fictional **Nordic Civil Protection Agency (NCPA)** is preparing Northstar Rescue 2026, an exercise involving crisis management, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), field teams, and a shared operational picture. NCPA has invited GeoNordic to demonstrate its approach on **25 September 2026** and may later open a formal procurement. The opportunity could be strategically valuable, but the schedule is tight and the available material is inconsistent. Different functions inside GeoNordic must determine what is known, what remains uncertain, and what the company can responsibly recommend or promise. All organizations, people, products, figures, and messages in this case are synthetic. ## Products & demo / Atlas Response Suite — capability summary Source ID: PRODUCT-001 · Date: 2026-08-12 · Owner: GeoNordic Product · Status: current approved synthetic product sheet · File: participant/02-product-and-demo/product-sheets/atlas-response-suite.md Atlas Response Suite combines a map-based operational picture with field reports, resource positions, and imported observations. ## Available in the current release - shared map view with role-based layers; - field reports created and synchronized while connected; - import of UAS observations through documented file and API interfaces; - cached basemap and previously synchronized reports for up to four hours without connectivity; - audit trail for imported and operator-approved observations. ## Important limits - New reports cannot be synchronized without connectivity. - Live UAS observations cannot be imported while offline. - Cached viewing is not the same as full offline operation. - After four hours without connectivity, the offline cache is outside the approved support window and must be treated as stale until synchronized. - Customer-specific integrations require technical and security review. - Account and concurrent-use limits depend on the contracted deployment model. ## Products & demo / Known Issues Source ID: ISSUE-001, ISSUE-002, ISSUE-003 · Date: 2026-08-27 · Owner: GeoNordic Support · Status: mixed-current-and-resolved · File: participant/02-product-and-demo/support-and-feedback/known-issues.csv | source_id | issue_id | reported_date | product_version | summary | status | resolution_date | owner | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | ISSUE-001 | ATLAS-417 | 2026-07-18 | 3.4.0 | Offline cache age banner may not refresh after reconnection | Resolved in 3.4.1 | 2026-08-10 | Atlas team | | ISSUE-002 | BRIDGE-088 | 2026-08-25 | Beta 0.7 | Duplicate external observation can enter the review queue | Open | | Mission Bridge team | | ISSUE-003 | RELAY-014 | 2026-08-27 | Pilot 0.3 | More than 12 clients causes intermittent local updates | Known pilot limit | | Field Relay team | ## Finance / Budget V1 Source ID: BUDGET-V1-001, BUDGET-V1-002, BUDGET-V1-003, BUDGET-V1-004, BUDGET-V1-005 · Date: 2026-08-10 · Owner: GeoNordic Finance · Status: planning-draft · File: participant/04-finance/budget-v1.csv | source_id | line_id | cost_item | native_currency | native_amount | fx_to_sek | base_sek | status | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | BUDGET-V1-001 | B1-01 | Internal personnel | SEK | 300000 | 1.00 | 300000 | Planning draft | | BUDGET-V1-002 | B1-02 | Travel and accommodation | SEK | 180000 | 1.00 | 180000 | Planning draft | | BUDGET-V1-003 | B1-03 | Demonstration hardware | EUR | 25000 | 11.20 | 280000 | Planning draft | | BUDGET-V1-004 | B1-04 | Venue and communications | USD | 10000 | 10.30 | 103000 | Planning draft | | BUDGET-V1-005 | B1-05 | Contingency | SEK | 137000 | 1.00 | 137000 | Planning draft | ## Inbox / Your inbox Source ID: INBOX-BD-001 · Date: 2026-09-10 · Owner: Workshop lead · Status: synthetic inbox index · File: participant/07-inbox/inbox-new-starter.md This inbox is a static workshop file.

I'm out at Fjordland until Friday, so here is the plan in writing. Everything you need is on the Hub; start with the AI-tool policy so you know what you may and may not paste into the assistant. **Week 1 — get your bearings, then help with Northstar.** - Day 1: read up on the company and the Northstar opportunity. Before the Monday meeting I need four facts checked; see my next message. - Day 2: Alex Berg wants a list of where our own Northstar material disagrees with itself. Don't resolve anything, just find it. - Day 3: Petra Lindqvist needs the website copy checked against the product sheets before it goes out. - Friday: Sigrid has asked for a one-page decision memo on Northstar for the management meeting. Alex, Leona, Hanna and Petra will each give you a short update; pull it together. Decision, conditions, owners. **Week 2 — the market side, which is what I hired you for.** - Competitor landscape: what we know versus what people say. - Run Monitoring Method v1 for January to August against the press archive. - Audit Tara's Q2 Market Watch report against the same archive. - Map the Nordic Resilience Programme: who is in it, and are we? - Read the two documents Elin flagged as "odd". Tell me what's odd. **Week 3 — version 2.** Method v1 misses things I care about: recruitment, acquisitions, partnerships, programmes. Interview me (use the assistant), specify v2, write it, test it against the archive, and tell me what changes. Rules of the house: 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. We'll add you to the people directory next week. Marcus --- **From:** Marcus Ode, Business Development Manager `` **Date:** 10 September 2026, 08:12 **Subject:** Four facts before Monday Before Monday I need these four things checked, with the exact wording from the Hub, not a summary: 1. The date of the Northstar Rescue 2026 demonstration. 2. How long Atlas keeps cached maps and previously synchronized reports available without connectivity. 3. The total of budget v1, in SEK. 4. Which release fixed ATLAS-417, and when. Page, quote, done. If two pages disagree, tell me both. Marcus ## Company / Atlas Response Suite 3.4.1 released Source ID: NEWS-002 · Date: 2026-08-10 · Owner: GeoNordic Product · Status: internal news post · File: participant/09-company/news/2026-08-10-atlas-3-4-1-released.md Atlas Response Suite 3.4.1 is released today, 10 August 2026. This release fixes ATLAS-417, the issue where the offline cache age banner could fail to refresh after a device reconnected. Customers and partners running earlier 3.4.x builds should update to 3.4.1. Delivery and Support can help schedule updates for customers who need assistance. Any readiness note, demo script, or customer-facing message written before this release that still lists ATLAS-417 as an open blocker is now superseded. Please update your own copies and check with Product before reusing older readiness material that references this issue. No other behavioural changes are included in this release. The four-hour cached-viewing limit for the offline basemap and previously synchronized reports is unchanged, as are the other limits described in the current product sheet.
