CLT panel layout across 6 envelopes

We are hiring one computational designer and have built a challenge instead of asking for a CV.

The problem is a CLT floor system. Two standard panel widths.
a structural joint rule. six envelopes that don’t all cooperate.

before you open Grasshopper, what do you parameterize?
what do you ask the structural engineer before you write a single node?

Halfway through, a fabrication constraint arrives, and two joint locations are dead.

one seat. palo alto.
Salary + ESOP. Full compensation details shared over email.
