My FR5 puck trial started with the fixture already prepared

I liked the supervised FR5 tray-to-fixture trial and wrote it up that way. Reading it back, I've given myself credit for preparation the demonstrator did. How do I keep the good impression while being clear about what I actually handled?

Name your starting point. What was already fitted or loaded when you began?

Puck fixture installed, tray arranged and routine selected. I placed the pucks and followed the normal prompts. The review currently says I had it transferring in minutes, which leaves all that out.

Change that sentence first. Minutes after taking over a prepared job is a useful observation, but not setup time. You can describe what was ready without estimating the demonstrator's unseen work

Did they help during a run too, or only before you started?

I wouldn't scrub out the enjoyment in the correction. Or replace one grand verdict with another. Tell us which part felt straightforward and where somebody else's judgement kept the trial moving.

Lin, they explained an empty-pocket stop and told me the next permitted action. Aaron, choosing and following the normal prompts felt straightforward. I wouldn't have worked out that interruption from the screen alone.

That is useful detail. Normal operation and guided interruption belong in separate sentences.

David, were you evaluating the training experience or intending to recommend the package for production? The same trial can support a positive account of one while leaving most of the other untested

First impression of trying it, not a production evaluation. I got carried away with the last line about anyone being able to run it. That's coming out; this was me with a demonstrator beside me.

That last line needed narrowing. Your colleague on a different shift doesn't get the demonstrator automatically included, however generous the sales photograph looks.

Will the review say which prompts you found clear? That could help a trainer.

Revised now: prepared setup stated first, normal stage prompts described, guided empty-pocket response included. Kept that I enjoyed the trial. Thanks Mina for separating a good learning experience from a production recommendation.

Clearer account. Your help is visible and the positive experience still sounds like yours.
