Sunday Meal Plan
Sunday afternoon. Everyone has something to say about dinner.
Ninety seconds. £90. Five people. Seven days.
One vegetarian, two children, a visiting parent, and time pressure on weeknights. Every meal you pick is a commitment — Arena captures whether your plan holds up under compound constraint.
The household
Read the constraints. You have 90 seconds once you start planning.
It's Sunday afternoon. You're doing the weekly shop tomorrow. Five people to feed: you, your partner (vegetarian), two kids (ages 7 and 10), and your mum staying for three days. Budget is £90 for the week. You need breakfast, lunch, and dinner covered — realistically, that means planning dinners properly and keeping breakfasts and lunches simple.
Multiple people, multiple restrictions, one budget. Every meal is a decision under compound constraint.
Kids (7&10): No spice, need proper food.
Mum (Mon–Wed): Traditional, proper dinner.
You: Under 30 mins on weeknights.
Budget: £90 total for the week.
How you planned the week.
90 seconds. £90. Five people. Multiple constraints.
Team planning, resource allocation, sprint planning — the structure is identical. Someone has a constraint you forgot. Someone's needs conflict. The budget doesn't stretch to everything. Arena captures how you navigate compound constraint — and what you sacrifice first.
