During a fast-moving issue, the dangerous sentence is often not false—it is an old version that is no longer true.
This workflow uses approved recordings to support one controlled statement and crisis timeline without confusing draft wording, unverified reports and released facts.
The five statement statuses
| Status | Meaning | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Unverified report | Information received but not confirmed | Keep internal and attributed |
| Working fact | Supported but still under review | State limitations |
| Draft message | Proposed wording | Do not circulate externally |
| Approved statement | Version authorised for release | Record approver and time |
| Superseded statement | Earlier version no longer current | Withdraw and preserve history |
The statement ledger
- version number
- date, time and timezone
- verified facts included
- facts deliberately excluded
- approver
- channels released
- expiry or review trigger
- replacement version
The VOICE briefing
- V — View: approved position and objective.
- O — Objective information: confirmed facts and sources.
- I — Issues: difficult questions and known criticism.
- C — Conditions: legal, privacy, commercial and embargo limits.
- E — Escalation: what cannot be answered and who decides.
Crisis workflow
- Maintain one authoritative incident timeline.
- Correct transcript names, times and source attribution.
- Separate report, fact, analysis and draft message.
- Create the statement ledger.
- Approve one external version.
- Record every release channel and time.
- Withdraw superseded wording.
- Update spokespeople and stakeholders.
- Preserve the decision history.
Media interviews
Agree on-record, background, off-record and embargo terms before sensitive discussion. Verify every quotation against the original audio and surrounding answer.
Holding lines
A holding statement must remain true. “Investigation is continuing” becomes misleading once a cause is confirmed or the investigation closes. Attach a review trigger.
Confidentiality
Use approved accounts, restrict unreleased information and record exact embargo dates and timezones. Do not rely on public transcript links for crisis material.
