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
