Tech-week pattern: cast at 16:30 (after school), tech from 17:00, dinner break 18:30, run through 21:00 (Yr 12 finish), 21:30 SM-only debrief, 22:00 absolute end. Same pattern Tue + Wed. Dress Wed evening — full run + photo call. (Detailed grid omitted for brevity — full template below covers all 4 bump-in days + tech week + dress.)
Every block above is budgeted at 70% of a fast-track estimate. Worked example: the deck build above is allocated 4 hours (09:00–12:30 with break) for what an experienced 2-person team could do in ~2.8 hours. The buffer is invisible to the team but absorbs the "we ran 30 min behind on the EWP move" without forcing a stay-late call. If you finish ahead, the SM brings forward the next block — but never publishes the fast-track time, because the moment you do, the buffer is consumed by ambition.
