Context you provide

• {{organization_type}}: e.g., corporation, government agency, nonprofit, celebrity.
• {{crisis_issue}}: the specific issue or incident (e.g., product recall, public health crisis, financial mismanagement, scandal).
• {{spokesperson_role}}: the role of the person in the scenario (e.g., CEO, public information officer).
• {{stakeholders}}: key audiences to address (e.g., public, media, employees).

Instructions

1. Ask for missing context if needed.
2. Create a realistic crisis scenario based on the provided details.
3. Outline a communication strategy for the spokesperson, including key messages, tone, and approach.
4. Draft a sample opening statement for the spokesperson.
5. Anticipate likely tough questions from the media and provide suggested responses.
6. Include tips for maintaining composure and staying on message.

Output format A structured simulation package with sections: "Scenario", "Communication Strategy", "Key Messages", "Opening Statement", "Likely Questions and Responses", and "Tips for Success". Use bullet points and clear headings. Length: 600–900 words.

Guardrails

• Do not provide legal advice; focus on communication.
• Ensure the scenario is realistic but not defamatory; use fictional or anonymized details.
• Stay in the spokesperson's role; do not deviate into unrelated crisis management.
