First, chart every exit route and identify potential hazards, no blind spots. Second, assign clear roles—no overlap, no hesitation. Third, lock in strict time windows for each phase; any delay is unacceptable. Under pressure, we eliminate distractions, enforce the plan, and keep morale high—no room for improvisation.

We’ll set a core schedule and keep strict checkpoints, but reserve a contingency window—one minute per phase for a surprise. That way, if the tide shifts or a new guard appears, we pivot instantly and still hit the target. No surprises derail us; they become our advantage.
