Horizon and tolerance

Pin the date you expect to arrive, then say how much slack still counts as arriving. Name the wiggle room in both timing and level, so a near miss reads as success and a real miss reads as failure.

Example

By June 30, with two weeks of slack for travel. A 12-minute conversation with one switch to English still counts. Under 10 minutes, or three switches, does not. If August comes with no conversation, the target failed.
