Government media war-room plans

Identifies operational government media war-room plans used to coordinate monitoring, rapid response, approvals, rebuttals, and spokesperson activity. War-room plan topics are retained for discovery; enforcement requires independent government-office context and multiple operational workflow elements, and high confidence also requires populated assignments, times, or issue references.

Should match

• Media war-room plan — Low-tier probe - war-room plan topic without government or workflow evidence
• Government media war-room plan for the minister's office: media monitoring shift, issue escalation, holding statement, spokesperson assignment, and approval chain — Medium-tier probe - government war-room workflow without populated live-plan details
• Government media war-room plan for the minister's office: media monitoring shift; issue escalation; holding statement; spokesperson assignment; War-room lead: Priya Shah; Activation time: 06:30 AEST; Issue reference: MED-2026-44 — High-tier probe - government workflow with named ownership, activation time, and issue reference

Should not match

• Strategic communications plan: audience segments, key messages, stakeholder engagement, media strategy, and publication calendar — Generic strategic communications belongs to the adjacent communications-plan SIT
• National emergency response plan: emergency operations centre, incident commander, evacuation zones, public warnings, and recovery priorities — Emergency command planning is not a media war-room plan
• Corporate media war-room plan for a product recall: media monitoring shift, issue escalation, holding statement, spokesperson assignment, and approval chain — Corporate crisis response lacks government-office context
• Election campaign media war-room plan: rapid response roster, rebuttal line, media inquiry log, response owner, and daily media grid — Candidate campaign operations are not government communications
• Training example: Government media war-room plan for the minister's office; media monitoring shift; issue escalation; War-room lead: Priya Shah; Activation time: 06:30 AEST — Explicit training content must not enforce even with realistic live-plan details

Known false positives

• Strategic communications plans, emergency plans, and public-affairs guidance use monitoring, messaging, approval, spokesperson, and briefing language without establishing a media war room. Mitigation: Require an explicit media war-room plan before considering operational workflow evidence.
• Corporate crisis teams and election campaigns can operate realistic media war rooms with rapid-response rosters, rebuttal lines, and inquiry logs. Mitigation: Require independent government-office, ministerial, cabinet, departmental, or agency context at every enforcing tier.
• Exercises and training scenarios can contain named leads, activation times, issue references, and realistic escalation procedures. Mitigation: Reject explicit template, demo, tutorial, sample-data, training-exercise, and training-example framing from enforcing tiers.
