The Principal's Human Warning Network: A Working Map

The intelligence

CB-293 argued that protection fails when the first person who sees a threat is not connected to the person who can stop it. This annex asks how a household closes that gap: who notices what, who hears it and how fast, which instructions always get checked, and how the path is rehearsed. Built from the brief's five questions and ObscureIQ casework practice. For family offices, security leads and principals.
