How decision rounds work

The flow

• Cutscene — a beat of story that gives you new information.
• Decision — pick one of several options under time pressure.
• Outcome — see the consequences before the next cutscene.

The three scores

• Public trust — how stakeholders, customers and media perceive you.
• Operational capacity — your ability to keep delivering services.
• Threat containment — how much of the incident you've actually contained.

Each choice shifts one or more scores. The branching is real — different choices lead to genuinely different paths through the story.

The CLEAR Decision Loop

Every decision is structured around a five-stage loop: Context, Likelihood and impact, Edges and constraints, Alternatives, then Respond and review. A small tracker on screen shows which stage you're in. Use it to slow down and think.
