事实未齐时如何更新进展
Give a useful update without speculation or false reassurance.
说明已知、未知、正在做什么及下次更新时间。 本情境为原创练习设定。
1 · 先听见真实对话
Stakeholder: Can we say it will be fixed within the hour?
You: Not unless the engineering team can support that estimate. We can state the work underway and commit to the next update time.
Stakeholder: Should we name a possible cause?
You: We can say that the cause is being investigated. Naming an unverified cause could mislead customers and distract from the actual work.
Stakeholder: What if we have no new information at two?
You: We should still update customers, state what remains unknown and confirm the next checkpoint. Silence would leave them to guess.

5 · 换一个情境，再试一次
A delivery partner reports a disruption but cannot yet identify all affected orders. Write and say a short update that avoids implying every customer is affected or promising unconfirmed replacements.
What do you recommend, and what should we decide next?
Use the new facts. State the consequence or trade-off and one next action.
- I distinguish confirmed facts from unknowns.
- I avoid an unsupported cause or recovery promise.
- I give a realistic next update and accountable contact.
