  "title": "Choose voice contact when connection is the task and both people welcome it",
  "summary": "A useful call does not need to become a scheduled performance.",
  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "Offer a short voice conversation and let the other person choose a workable channel. Experiments found stronger felt connection through voice in their tested settings. Use that evidence as a reason to try, not a reason to override preference or accessibility.",
  "limits": [
    "Voice is not always safer, more accessible or more convenient. Respect hearing, language, privacy and energy needs, and do not infer rejection from a preference for text."

  "use_when": [
    "Text exchanges feel thin and you want a more personal conversation."
  ],
  "avoid_when": [
    "Voice is not always safer, more accessible or more convenient. Respect hearing, language, privacy and energy needs, and do not infer rejection from a preference for text."
  ],
  "example": "Two friends who keep exchanging short updates arrange a brief call while retaining text as an easy alternative.",
  "check": "The channel supports mutual engagement without adding pressure or practical exclusion.",
  "steps": [
    "Ask whether a call would be welcome and agree a suitable time.",
    "Give the conversation attention rather than multitasking through it.",
    "Keep important commitments in writing when a record is needed."
