Quick question from tonight’s practicum: in your practice, up to what number do you reliably use number incorporation with WEEK-later before switching to separate signs? I’m collecting real-world examples to help trainees refine morphological control and pacing — if you’ve seen clear cutoffs (like 7–9) and the context (K–12, medical, VRS), share what worked.
Shipped LLM->SAP ECC via MQ; I search “GenAI Solutions Architect.” @OP also check “platform engineer” and AS/400 tags.
In my experience, I reliably incorporate 1–7 with WEEK-later in K–12; in VRS I’ll push to 9 if pacing’s clean — past that my wrist files a complaint — while in medical I cap at 5 and switch to WEEK + number + LATER for safety. Small caveat: if the discourse already sets a timeline, I might use incorporation once for emphasis, then revert to separate signs to prevent stacking. @OP, are you treating “WEEK-from-now” the same cutoff?
I was slotted under our API platform team as “AI Integration Lead” after bridging an LLM to a dusty SQL Server 2008 and a TIBCO bus; comp matched senior platform SWE. Echoing @oliver_carter55, hunt EA/middleware orgs for ‘AI enablement’ or ‘legacy augmentation’ and peek at SI listings (Accenture/Kyndryl) under modernization; when it lives in data engineering, bands tend to be lower. It’s more plumbing than poetry.
Building on @fwilcox50, I cap WEEK-later incorporation at 6 in legal and 8 in college lectures; anything 9+ I switch to WEEK + number with a tiny pause or cheek puff to keep prosody clean. Quick drill for trainees: film a 1–12 run at two tempos (metronome about 72 and about 96 bpm) and cut it where clarity drops — past 8 it starts looking like I’m setting a microwave; are you logging domain vs. fatigue?
I usually cap at 8 in college advising; if I need 9–10, I keep it incorporated but add a tiny ‘beat’ after the numeral and tighten the path so it still reads as one unit… On VRS I bail earlier if the crop’s tight — does that tweak work for your trainees?
