A rehearsal cue needs three separate pieces of information: what starts it, what should happen, and what must already be ready.

In this kit's fictional production example: • LX-012 starts at Scene 2, line 34 and brings up a warm doorway light • SD-008 starts after the door closes and fades the room ambience • MV-003 starts after LX-012 is established and covers a chair move by stage crew

For MV-003, the prerequisite also points to the approved movement plan and lighting timing. Alex confirms readiness through the production-approved process before rehearsal.

Try this in your next cue review: read the trigger, intended result and prerequisite as separate fields. If a note changes the timing or instruction, keep the cue ID stable and increase its revision. That keeps earlier notes traceable.

The image is an actual page from the Performance Rehearsal and Cue Coordination Kit's fictional completed example. The download includes a five-page editable Word packet, Excel tracker, matching print PDF, completed example and Quick Start.

Manual coordination templates only. Follow the authorized prompt book, production procedures and qualified crew. No live cue playback or safety certification is included.

For Vetti, a pet-health startup, our team made orange the signature colour and kept it out of the product’s data states. Orange could carry the brand in a campaign. Inside the product, the colour attached to a score needed its own meaning. Using the same colour for recognition and an alert would ask someone to work out which job it was doing. So the guidelines gave the data palette a separate role. Scores came with plain-language states, and the alert-copy rule was to state the observation, then give the next step. Those decisions belong together. A calm sentence can be undermined by a colour treatment that suggests urgency. If you’re reviewing an identity for a product, put a marketing layout beside a screen that communicates status. Ask what each colour means in each place.
