# Rapid Response Activation Prompt

Trigger Event: [Precise description of the surprise development — amendment filed, press story, Member statement, hearing notice, agency letter, etc. — including timing and source]

Immediate Deadline: [Hours or days until decision point or public response required]

Client Exposure: [Financial, operational, reputational, or competitive impact of this development]

Existing Positioning: [What the client has already said or done publicly on this issue or related matters]

Provide an immediate threat assessment (real risk versus noise), 24/48/72-hour action plan, draft reactive materials (one-pager or statement), 3-5 validators or allies to activate immediately, defensive talking points that create offensive opportunity, and recommended posture (engage quietly, go public, or monitor). Follow the rapid response methodology in SKILL.md and the formatting standards in STYLE.md.
