Prevention Playbook

The conflict prevention playbook has four structural elements:

• Clear expectations — who is responsible for what, by when, to what standard
• Feedback loops — safe, consistent spaces for concerns to be raised early
• Escalation pathways — how unresolved issues move up without becoming attacks
• Decision-making clarity — who has final say on contested calls

Each element removes a common source of friction. Clear expectations leave less to argue about, and feedback loops catch problems while they are still small.
