8 matches Customer evidence finder
Customer signal · Paperwork

Paperwork field mismatch

Current version

A visible ID detail conflicts with the expected record.

Check next
Matching computer field
Team callout
Say the field, not only “bad ID”
Player job

Verify the exact field instead of judging the whole document at a glance.

Use now

Name the mismatched field and open the matching computer entry.

Safe next action

Hold admission until the same identity detail is cross-checked.

Risk

A fast visual read can turn two similar fields into a false call.

Customer signal · Computer

Computer record conflict

Official info

The database does not support a detail shown or stated by the customer.

Check next
Targeted question
Team callout
Record says… / customer says…
Player job

Preserve the contradiction for the final admission decision.

Use now

Read the conflicting value aloud and choose one follow-up that tests it.

Safe next action

Do not open the door while the record conflict is unresolved.

Risk

Closing the database without naming the conflict makes co-op evidence easy to lose.

Customer signal · Questioning

Answer conflicts with the record

Current version

A targeted answer breaks the paperwork or database story.

Check next
Repeat the contradiction once
Best use
Confirm an existing doubt
Player job

Use the answer as corroborating evidence, not an isolated hunch.

Use now

Compare the answer with the exact record field already under review.

Safe next action

Hold admission and prepare the rejection or defense route.

Risk

A broad question can produce an ambiguous answer that proves nothing.

Customer signal · Questioning

Story changes under follow-up

Player report

The customer gives incompatible answers across the same line of inquiry.

Check next
Paperwork or behavior support
Best use
Break a polished story
Player job

Separate a changed fact from a merely different phrasing.

Use now

State both versions before the final call.

Safe next action

Treat a clear changed fact as a strong reason to hold admission.

Risk

Repeatedly grilling a customer without a target wastes limited questioning.

Customer signal · Behavior

Visible non-human cue

Player report

A physical or behavioral cue clearly departs from a normal customer presentation.

Check next
Defense readiness
Team callout
Cue and location
Player job

Keep distance and make sure the defense route is ready.

Use now

Use the cue with the current paperwork and record evidence.

Safe next action

Hold admission; assign one player to containment before the final call.

Risk

Crowding the door can leave the team with no clean retreat.

Customer signal · Behavior

Behavior changes during questioning

Player report

The customer presentation changes after a targeted check.

Check next
Strongest factual contradiction
Evidence weight
Supporting cue
Player job

Decide whether the change supports a known contradiction.

Use now

Pair the behavior with the strongest paperwork or answer signal.

Safe next action

Cross-check before admitting; behavior alone remains a weaker call.

Risk

Treating ordinary nervousness as automatic proof creates false positives.

Customer signal · Admission

All current checks align

Current version

Paperwork, computer record, answers, and behavior do not produce a contradiction.

Check next
Door and floor state
Evidence weight
No contradiction found
Player job

Finish the routine instead of inventing a new test from anxiety.

Use now

Confirm the defense player is ready, then make one admission call.

Safe next action

Admit carefully and return to the same check order for the next customer.

Risk

Endless extra questioning can consume the shift without improving the evidence.

Recovery flow · Containment

Monster breach response

Official info

A threat has entered and the evidence phase is over.

Priority
Trap → barricade → hide
Do not do
Continue normal service
Player job

Convert the store from service space into a containment and hiding route.

Use now

Stop chores, deploy traps, barricade doors or windows, close routes, and hide.

Safe next action

Stay quiet and let one player call movement while the threat is active.

Risk

Proximity voice can reveal the team during an attack.

Failure recovery

Recover after a bad admission

Once a monster is inside, another customer check is not the priority. Restore a defensible route first.

  1. 1
    Call the breach

    Stop normal service and tell every player which side of the store is unsafe.

  2. 2
    Place the trap route

    Use prepared traps between the threat and the team rather than scattering them at random.

  3. 3
    Barricade access

    Close doors and windows that create a direct path into the hiding area.

  4. 4
    Hide and reduce noise

    Move to the chosen refuge, stay quiet, and wait for a clean recovery window.

Decision table

Use the strongest unresolved contradiction

Use the action column as the next test, not as a claim about hidden game values.

Player questions

Customer Anomalies FAQ

Use the current game panel before spending rare resources on a value that can change.

What evidence should I check first?

Start with paperwork, then compare the same fields in the computer record before asking a targeted question.

Is behavior enough to reject a customer?

Treat behavior as supporting evidence. Factual contradictions across records or answers produce a safer call.

What does Reset clear?

Reset clears search, filters, saved signals, and the stored state for this finder.

Does the table work without JavaScript?

Yes. Every evidence and recovery row remains visible; JavaScript adds filtering and saved state.
