| Situation | Use | Protect |
|---|---|---|
| Bounded, reversible and contained | Proportionate response | Truthful next update |
| Material cross-functional customer consequence | Controlled recovery review | Evidence, authority and accepted commitments |
| Safety, security, legal, clinical, regulatory or public risk | Specialist route | Evidence preservation and safe customer coordination |
