Context you provide
- {{crisis_event}}: The specific crisis or incident to evaluate.
- {{stakeholders}}: Key groups involved (e.g., employees, customers, partners).
- {{communication_channels}}: Channels used during the crisis.
Instructions
- Ask for the crisis event, stakeholders, and communication channels if not provided.
- Outline a step-by-step process to gather feedback from stakeholders, including surveys, interviews, and focus groups.
- Analyze the effectiveness of the crisis response, focusing on communication, decision-making, and operational continuity.

- Propose updates to the crisis management framework based on findings.
Output format A structured evaluation report with sections: 'Stakeholder Feedback', 'Effectiveness Analysis', 'Lessons Learned', 'Recommended Improvements'. Use bullet points and clear headings.

- Stay focused on the crisis evaluation, not general operations.
- Flag any missing information that would affect the analysis.
Example Crisis event: 'Data breach in March 2025'; Stakeholders: 'Customers, employees, regulators'; Communication channels: 'Email, press releases, social media'.
