01 / Decision brief

The decision in one page

Question

Which combination of restraint, procedural disclosure and organiser discipline can move a standoff toward a stable process over 60 days?

Decision owner

Hypothetical ministry leadership. The owner and success thresholds would be named by a real client.

Tests

Incident exposure, day-60 grievance, peak enforcement and disclosure of disputed records.

Recommendation to examine

Test calm and disclosure together; inspect the first-week crowd response before treating restraint as failure.

This is a mock decision brief assembled from the demonstration, not an actual client deliverable.

02 / Causal loop map

The feedback behind the first move.

Enforcement may reduce the crowd in the short term and also raise grievance, incidents and renewed mobilisation. The diagram makes those competing paths visible.

03 / Assumptions register extract

What must be challenged.

A-01 · Structural judgement

Incidents rise with enforcement intensity and fall with leadership coherence. Sensitivity results depend heavily on this relationship.

A-02 · Illustrative parameter

Court-driven disclosure depends on one illustrative parameter. It needs case-specific evidence before use in advice.

A-03 · Boundary

Media, funding and splits within the opposition are outside this model. This can change the play in a real engagement.

A-04 · Calibration

No observed time series was used for the levels shown. Numeric outputs are demonstrative.

This extract is a sample presentation of limitations stated in the demonstrator, not a verified parameter register.

04 / After-action summary extract

What the game would send back to the decision owner.

Finding

In the illustrative runs, resolution required a disclosure move and a calm move together. The early crowd response could mislead leaders into reversing restraint.

Model challenge

Test whether leadership coherence really reduces incidents in this context, and add evidence on disclosure timing.

Next decision

Agree what indicator would distinguish transient crowd growth from a worsening incident spiral, then choose a decision gate.

Hypothetical after-action extract, not an account of a facilitated client game.
