Stakeholder Playbooks Overview
Freeze–Vote–Rebuild is one framework, but different stakeholders care about different risks, incentives, and non-negotiables.
This section provides stakeholder-specific playbooks that translate the framework into:
- priorities,
- questions to demand answers to,
- leverage points,
- redlines,
- implementation responsibilities.
These playbooks are not endorsements of any actor’s goals; they are operational “how to evaluate and execute” guides.
Objectives
- Make stakeholder incentives explicit (reduce hidden veto points).
- Provide negotiation and implementation checklists tailored to each audience.
- Clarify what each stakeholder must do for the framework to work.
- Anticipate objections and design mitigations proactively.
How to Use the Playbooks
Each playbook follows the same template:
- Primary Goals
- Key Risks
- Non-Negotiables / Redlines
- Leverage and Incentives
- Operational Responsibilities
- Verification Demands
- Failure Triggers and Fallback Options
Playbooks Included
Drafting Note

- reference specific gates and KPIs,
- include a short “Questions to Ask in the Room” section,
- include a “Minimum Acceptable Package” for each stakeholder.
