Feature · Crisis Directive Analyzer · Crisis committees · MUN

Stop writing directives your dais will laugh at.

Crisis committees move fast. Bad directives — wrong portfolio powers, implausible mechanics, war crimes for breakfast — destroy your credibility. The Model Diplomat Crisis Directive Analyzer gives you instant feedback before you submit.

Instant

Feedback in seconds

5-axis

Plausibility, powers, escalation, history, voice

Built-in

Standard directive structures

Sound familiar?

01

You don't know what your portfolio can actually do

First-time crisis delegates submit directives the dais can't process — actions outside portfolio powers, actions that would constitute clear acts of war absent declared war powers, actions that contradict the established historical setting.

02

Crisis arcs need internal logic

A directive that ignores your three previous moves reads as desperation. The strongest crisis directives compound — each move sets up the next. The Crisis Directive Analyzer tracks your arc across the session.

03

Chairs reward style as well as substance

Directives written in the right diplomatic register, with appropriate deniability mechanisms, conditional clauses, and intelligence-collection objectives — those are the ones that get awarded.

What you get.

Portfolio-powers check

Paste a directive. Get instant feedback on whether the proposed action falls within your assigned portfolio's authority — historically and procedurally.

Escalation-risk scoring

Every directive carries escalation risk. The Analyzer flags actions likely to trigger immediate retaliation, third-party intervention, or international legal consequence — so you can decide whether the risk is worth it.

Plausibility validation

Does this actually work given the committee's historical setting and the resources you've committed? The Analyzer surfaces logistical, technological, and political constraints.

Historical precedent matching

Model Diplomat looks up the real historical analogs to your directive — Operation Mongoose for covert action in Cuba, NSC-68 for early Cold War posture, etc. — and tells you what they actually achieved.

Voice and register

Crisis directives have a specific diplomatic-action register. The Analyzer flags directives that read too casual, too modern, or too direct for the committee's setting.

Suggested revisions

Not just critique — concrete suggestions. 'Reframe this as proxy action through X, add deniability mechanism Y, include intelligence-collection objective Z' — the Analyzer turns weak directives into strong ones.

Common questions.

Does using the Analyzer count as outside help?

Most conferences allow tools — same as using historical research books or notes. The Analyzer is a research and review tool, not a writer. You write the directive; it gives you feedback. Check your conference's rules.

What committee types does it support?

Strongest support is for historical crisis committees (Cuban Missile Crisis, Cold War, WWII, etc.). Works for ad-hoc crisis, JCC, and modern crisis. Less optimized for purely fictional / fantasy committees, though the diplomatic-register feedback still applies.

Can it analyze crisis notes (not just directives)?

Yes. Crisis notes (one-way communications to specific portfolios or NPCs) get specific feedback on plausibility and the likely response.

Pricing?

The Crisis Directive Analyzer is a Pro feature ($3/week or $10/month). Free tier includes core research and country profiles.

Live example — Model Diplomat Crisis Directive Analyzer

See it answer a real question.

Every Model Diplomat answer cites real primary sources. Nothing fabricated.

Analyze this crisis directive: 'Deploy covert assets to Cuba to sabotage Soviet supply convoy.'

Plausibility check: covert sabotage of a Soviet supply convoy in/around Cuba during a 1962 crisis committee is historically plausible only within tight constraints. Operation Mongoose (CIA, 1961–62) was the actual US covert-action program — its scope was limited to sabotage of Cuban infrastructure, NOT direct attacks on Soviet vessels, because direct US action on Soviet ships would have constituted an act of war.1

Portfolio-power check: assuming this directive is from the CIA Director or Attorney General portfolio, it falls within plausible authority IF framed as Cuban-asset action with Soviet supplies as collateral target — not direct Soviet engagement. Chairs should push back on directives that would constitute clear acts of war absent declared war powers.2

Suggested revisions for a stronger directive: (a) reframe as Cuban-asset sabotage of port infrastructure, (b) specify deniability mechanisms (proxy through Cuban exiles, plausible cover stories), (c) include intelligence-collection objective alongside disruption, (d) acknowledge escalation risk and stipulate halt conditions. This converts an act-of-war directive into a credible covert-action directive.3
