PROCEDURES

Playbooks

Each playbook is a procedure, not an essay: who acts, what they need, how to verify it worked, how it fails.

How these are written

Six parts, in order: trigger, owner, prerequisites, steps, completion criteria, recovery. A procedure that has never been rehearsed is a sentence in a document.

Never rehearse on a medical device, a lift, gas equipment, or anything that keeps someone alive or mobile. Simulate, or get the owner’s written authority and continuity cover.
