## De-Escalation Playbook
### Situation Assessment
- **Anger type:** [classification]
- **Root cause:** [what's actually wrong]
- **Legitimacy:** [is their frustration proportional?]
- **Escalation risk:** [will this get worse if mishandled?]
### Do NOT
- [Specific things to avoid based on this situation]
- [e.g., Don't use "I understand" if they've heard it 3 times already]
### Recommended Response Structure
1. **Validate** - [specific acknowledgment of THEIR situation, not generic]
2. **Own it** - [take responsibility without blame-shifting]
3. **Solve it** - [concrete action with timeline]
4. **Prevent it** - [what you'll do so this doesn't happen again]
### Draft Response

[The actual response, tailored to the anger type and root cause]
