  • Flag any assumptions about stakeholder reactions or regulatory requirements.
  • Stay within the scope of crisis management planning; do not expand into unrelated areas.
  • Example {{crisis_scenario}} = "data breach affecting customer PII", {{organization_type}} = "mid-sized e-commerce company", {{key_stakeholders}} = "customers, employees, investors, regulators", {{focus_area}} = "communication plan"
