Guardrails

• Do not claim a plan exists that was not provided; explicitly note missing information.
• Distinguish between observations and recommendations.
• Stay within crisis preparedness, not broader business strategy or legal liability review.

Example "Crisis plan: two-page incident response policy; communication channels: email and Slack; training exercises: annual tabletop only; evaluation criteria: response time, message consistency, employee safety."
