Crisis prep
Background, escalation tree, likely directives, and a personal-portfolio brief. Built for Model UN delegates who want a draft that reads like real diplomacy — not a Wikipedia summary.
Key highlights
Escalation tree
Three branches with rough probabilities and the trigger event that sets each off.
Decision-makers named
The actual people and bodies who hold power in the scenario, not vague factions.
First updates anticipated
The directives the committee is likely to face in the opening rounds.
Red lines flagged
The irreversible moves to avoid — so one bad directive doesn't sink you.
About this template
Crisis committees move fast and reward delegates who saw the next update coming. This template builds your prep brief for a scenario: the factual background and who actually holds power, an escalation tree with the trigger events for each branch, the directives the committee is likely to face first, and the moves you cannot walk back.
It turns an open-ended crisis into something you can plan against. Rather than reacting to each update cold, you arrive knowing the plausible paths and your opening talking points — with the underlying facts cited, so your interventions hold up when the chair pushes back.
Model Diplomat vs. generic AI
The same prompt in a general chatbot can produce something that reads right and isn't. Here's the difference.
| Aspect | This template | ChatGPT / generic AI |
|---|---|---|
| Sources | Primary documents, cited and openable | Often fabricated, or none at all |
| Format | Conference-ready, in your committee's standard structure | A blank page — you supply the format |
| Verifiability | Every claim checkable against its source | No way to tell what's real |
| Built for the work | Tuned for diplomacy, politics, and law | General-purpose, not domain-aware |
| Cost | Free to start | — |
