Definition

Locked canon entry, training-arc term. Named alongside the Coaching Ladder as part of the layer describing how a cast trainer runs a new hire through a training arc — the Tuesday-to-Saturday span in which a new hire moves from initial exposure to independent execution under observation.

Explanation

The name ties the concept to a concrete, memorable span of real time rather than an abstract training-duration policy, which is consistent with how this framework generally prefers named, specific mechanisms over generic HR language. A new hire’s arc from Tuesday to Saturday gives both the cast trainer and the new hire a shared, checkable timeline rather than a vague sense that training is “ongoing.”

This pairs directly with [The Coaching Ladder]’s three-tier structure — the cast trainer is the one actually running the new hire through this specific arc, transmitting the standard and modeling the verb day by day, while the lead’s role stays one level up, coaching the cast trainer rather than the new hire directly. [The Tuesday Test] names the concrete proving ground where that transmission either takes or doesn’t, inside a defined and observable window of time.
