The verification: a brochure
Given: Venue B, an evening on 5 June 2027 and seven claims, as the brochure makes themSolved for: Whether each claim holds
A brochure against the facts.
What a planner receives before signing a venue's contract and paying its deposit: each of the brochure's claims tested against the facts of the place.
This sample is the verification reading: claims about a place and a date tested against the facts. It is sold to planners. The venue is the wedding's Venue B, read for another planner's evening.
The power grid enters here as whether a temporary connection comes by the date, and the generator returns from the shoot as the answer when none does.
01 · What was asked
Is this claim about a place and an hour true?
The brochure
A planner holds Venue B's brochure and a contract with a deposit to sign, for an evening on 5 June 2027 with 300 guests. The brochure promises:
- 01 Licensed until 02:00
- 02 Room for 300 guests
- 03 Power for the band and the kitchen
- 04 Parking for 80 cars
- 05 A quiet estate, no works nearby
- 06 Exclusive use of the grounds
- 07 An established venue
02 · What was read
Seven claims, turned over
Each claim beside the answer: 3 hold and 4 fail.
01 · The licenceFails
01:00

- Saturday
- The location's event days
- Sourced and graded in the report
02 · The capacityFails

- The use notification
- The building's use
- Sourced and graded in the report
03 · The powerFails
No grid by the date
The estate's connection carries the house, not the 150 kVA of a band and a kitchen, and in this congestion area no temporary connection comes by the date. The power is a generator, its sound under the venue's limit, with its own permit.
- Power for the band and the kitchen
- Congestion area
- 150 kVA for the band and the kitchen
- Sourced and graded in the report
04 · The accessHolds
86
The grounds hold 86 cars against the 80 promised. The last road is a dyke that carries 30 tonnes at most, deliveries go between 07:00 and 11:00, and the caterer's trucks must be Euro 6.
- Parking for 80 cars
- The dyke under the water board's rules
- Deliveries 07:00–11:00
- Sourced and graded in the report
05 · The June around the dateHolds
Clear
On 5 June 2027 nothing is built, closed or held nearby. The building site next door runs from week 18 to week 21, and week 24 brings a closure of the access and an open-air event upwind: a fortnight later the claim would fail.
- A quiet estate, no works nearby
- The permits around the estate
- The closures on the access
- Sourced and graded in the report
06 · The groundsHolds
Exclusive
No right of way and no other user is registered on the grounds.
- Exclusive use of the grounds
- The rights registered on the parcels

- An established venue
- The operating company, a fact of the place
- The owner and the licence holder
- Sourced and graded in the report
03 · What it changed
What the planner signs
The planner signs with the claims that do not simply hold written into the contract:
- 01 The evening ends at 01:00, unless the venue obtains a later hour before the deposit is paid.
- 02 The guests the hall is allowed, confirmed by the venue in writing, or the marquee and its permit at the venue's cost.
- 03 A generator of 150 kVA, its sound under the venue's limit and its permit at the venue's cost.
- 04 The owner's written undertaking that the evening goes ahead if the operating company does not.
The mirror
A venue buys the mirror of this reading as its own report: how its place reads to a planner who checks it, and what is coming towards it.
