RAPID NARRATIVE RESPONSE

When the story is moving faster than the facts.

A rapid narrative assessment identifies what happened, how the event is being made persuasive, where the interpretation is traveling, what the operation gained, and the strongest first response.

Fast enough to matter. Disciplined enough to survive contact with the opposition.
