Risk Escalation Drafter

Pro v1.0.0 1 view

Draft professional risk and blocker escalation messages for stakeholders with clear impact, options, and decision requests.

What You Get

Transform raw situation descriptions into polished stakeholder communications that maintain credibility while getting decisions made quickly.

The Problem

Product managers often struggle to escalate problems effectively. Messages that are too panicked destroy credibility, while messages that are too vague don't get decisions made. PMs need to communicate urgency without seeming incompetent, present options without abdicating responsibility, and request specific decisions without overstepping authority.

The Solution

This skill structures your raw risk situation into a professional escalation using a proven framework: objective situation description, quantified impact, demonstrated competence (what you've tried), analyzed options with tradeoffs, clear recommendation, and specific decision ask. It calibrates tone and detail level for executives, peer stakeholders, or technical leaders.

How It Works

  1. 1 Gather escalation context: situation, impact, actions taken, options, help needed, audience, urgency
  2. 2 Structure message with professional framework: situation, impact, root cause, actions taken, options with tradeoffs, recommendation, decision needed
  3. 3 Calibrate tone for audience: executives get business impact focus, peers get collaborative detail, technical leaders get architectural depth
  4. 4 Review for trust preservation: ensure message shows competence and ownership while being transparent

What You'll Need

  • Clear description of risk or blocker situation
  • Understanding of business impact (customers, revenue, timeline)
  • At least 2 options with tradeoffs identified
  • Knowledge of decision-maker and their priorities
