A perception check has exactly three parts: the behaviour you actually saw, two interpretations you would genuinely accept, and a real question. Load a situation, then build the sentence one part at a time. The bubble on the right rebuilds live and tells you how each piece will land — including the versions that are an accusation wearing a question mark.
1 · Load a situation
Where did this misunderstanding start? Diagnosing the stage tells you the fix.
2 · Part one — the behaviour
Pick the opening a camera could have recorded. Past tense, no adjectives, no conclusions.
3 · Part two — two interpretations
Choose exactly two. One interpretation is an accusation with a question mark on the end.
4 · Part three — the question
Then stop talking. That is part of the move.
What you would actually say
Pick a behaviour, two interpretations and a question. The sentence assembles here.
