01 · Explainable arrangement

Make the move. Keep the reason.

A teacher can try a deliberate arrangement, inspect what changed and read the reasons before saving a new plan version.

The problem

Where the ordinary workflow breaks.

Seating changes are often rebuilt by hand or accepted from an opaque shuffle. Both make it difficult to tell which constraints survived the move.

What SitRep changes

The useful part stays in reach.

SitRep treats the arrangement as a suggestion. Locked seats, permitted constraints, gaps and the unseated pool remain visible while the teacher decides whether the result is worth keeping.

Compared cleanly

Not just another way to draw a seating plan.

  1. 01

    Compared with a spreadsheet or slide

    Seats can be moved, but locks, deliberate gaps, constraints and version history are easy to lose or misread.

  2. 02

    Compared with a black-box shuffle

    SitRep shows its reasons and presents a draft. The teacher keeps the final say.

The honest boundary

What this workflow does not claim.

The suggestion does not diagnose pupils or decide what is educationally right. It uses permitted planning information and waits for a teacher to review and save it.
