Use evidence, not an additive score. An unknown essential requirement means ask; a failed requirement can mean skip. A good topic cannot compensate for an inaccessible format.

COMPLETED FICTIONAL READER EXAMPLE — real dated listing, no purchase or attendance
My goal / city or online / available dates:
Fictional reader: understand healthcare AI deployment, without coding; online only; evening of 15 September; total budget A$20; captions required.

Event title / organiser / official listing URL:
AI Hype to Practice / MLAI and listed co-host / https://luma.com/mlai-nu4n. Real listing, fictional reader decision; not an attendance review.

Checked on / event date / displayed timezone:
10 September 2026. Listing: Tuesday 15 September, 5:30–8:30 pm AEST. This is the event window, not a verified online-stream duration.

Format / venue or joining instructions:
Venue listed: Stone & Chalk Melbourne. Separate Join Online ticket observed; remote joining instructions and which parts are streamed are unverified.

Topic / level / prerequisites / what I will do:
Healthcare AI deployment panel and Q&A described. No coding exercise promised. Beginner suitability still needs confirmation.

Exact ticket / currency / fees / travel / total budget:
City card: $12.50 beside a venue. Event page: Standard $24.60; Early Bird $14.60 marked Sold Out; Join Online $12.50. Displayed dollar amounts at the check, not a verified final charge or currency. Do not infer that the in-person ticket costs $12.50 or that the online option meets the A$20 budget.

Cancellation / refund terms:
Not recorded in this check. Ask for the cancellation/refund conditions before paying.

Accessibility or participation needs / organiser response:
Captions required by this fictional reader; not confirmed. No organiser response has been obtained.

Registration confirmed, pending or waitlisted:
Not registered. No confirmed place, pending request or waitlist entry exists for this fictional reader.

Unresolved requirements / question / answer needed by:
Confirm captions, beginner suitability, streamed segments, joining process, final currency/fees and refund terms. Fictional decision deadline: 14 September; this is not the organiser's sales deadline.

Decision: attend, ask a question, or skip — why?:
Ask before paying. Topic and a remote ticket are promising, but unknown access and total cost are blockers. If captions cannot be confirmed or the full charge exceeds the budget, skip and choose another session.

Afterwards: what was useful / would I return?:
Not attended; no outcome or intention to return recorded. Complete this only after a real visit.
