Practical manuals¶

Not everyone in a crisis has time to parse a wiki. Manuals distil the essentials into usable guides:

• Checklists for common failure scenarios.

• Quick-start guides for critical tools (log analysis, SIEM queries, secure comms).

• Continuity guides for rotating roles: “If X is out, here’s how to cover.”

Core principles¶

• Concise: One page beats ten.

• Visual: Diagrams and flowcharts trump paragraphs.

• Role-specific: Tailored to functions, not generic templates.

Manuals serve as anchors during chaos, ensuring no team member is left improvising without a map.
