================================================================================ BLUE COLLAR BRANDING — PLAY BUILD QUEUE (PLAYS 7-34 EXTENDED) Continuation of 08-play-build-queue.txt with all builder plays 7-28 and standalone plays 29-34 Generated: February 13, 2026 Version: 2.0 Complete ================================================================================ PLAY [7] of [34]: CARE CORNERSTONE DEFINITIONS BUILDER → D1 ================================================================================ Type: Ella-ment Builder Built Ella-ment: D1 — CARE Framework Cornerstone Definitions Tier: Required Job: Translate universal CARE framework into company-specific language, definitions, and trade-specific applications Role: Strategy/Selection Step Count: 4 Steps: Step 1: Explain CARE Framework (No Save) What Happens: Review CARE cornerstones (Clarity, Alignment, Relevance, Experience) and how each applies to home services User Input Needed: Leadership understanding of CARE and what it means for their company Step Produces: Shared understanding of CARE framework Step 1 Save Output: FALSE Step 2: Define Each Cornerstone for Company Context (No Save) What Happens: For each cornerstone, develop company-specific definition rooted in positioning, customer needs, and operational reality User Input Needed: Reflection on what each cornerstone means for company, current state assessment Step Produces: Four draft cornerstone definitions Step 2 Save Output: FALSE Step 3: Map Cornerstone Interdependencies and Goals What Happens: Document how cornerstones reinforce each other, set 90-day goals for each, identify trade-specific applications User Input Needed: Owner's perspective on sequencing and what success looks like for each cornerstone Step Produces: Comprehensive CARE definition document with goals and interdependencies Step 3 Save Output: TRUE Step 4: Create Measurement Framework What Happens: For each cornerstone, identify how company will know it's achieved (metrics, indicators, behavioral shifts) User Input Needed: What metrics matter for measuring cornerstone progress (review language, customer satisfaction, team behavior) Step Produces: Final D1 CARE definitions document (3-4 pages) with measurement approach Step 4 Save Output: TRUE Context Required: Ella-ments to Load: C1 (clarity definition), A1 (positioning context), A4 (alignment assessment), B1 (customer context) Frameworks to Reference: Chapters 4-8 CARE deep-dive, Blue Collar Branding framework Output Specification: Format: Markdown document, 3-4 pages Sections: Clarity definition and goals, Alignment definition and goals, Relevance definition and goals, Experience definition and goals, Cornerstone interdependencies, Measurement framework Length: 1500-2000 words Audience: All teams (organizing framework for all work) Voice Cascade: Expert Coach → Plainspoken Strategist → Analytical Strategist → default Dependencies: Requires C1 (clarity informs definition), A1 (positioning), A4 (alignment assessment), B1 (customer context) Unlocks: 90-Day Roadmap structuring (D12), All cornerstone-specific work, Team understanding of strategy Tags: framework, operations, strategy Keywords: clarity, alignment, relevance, experience, CARE framework Milestone: FALSE Step 1 Save Output: FALSE Step 2 Save Output: FALSE Step 3 Save Output: TRUE Step 4 Save Output: TRUE Step Types: Input, Definition, Context-mapping, Output Runner: Owner-operator with leadership team in workshop Audience: All teams (guides all downstream work) Not-For Audiences: Customers (internal strategic framework) Runtime Inputs: 1. Cornerstone Assessment: Owner's current assessment of each cornerstone (1-10 scale, narrative on current state) 2. 90-Day Vision: What does success look like in 90 days for each cornerstone 3. Trade-Specific Context: How do CARE cornerstones apply in this specific trade (HVAC vs. plumbing vs. electrical differences) Context Loading Table: | Source | What to Extract | Tier | | C1 Brand Clarity | What clarity definition should emphasize | Required | | A1 Company Positioning | Company values and competitive advantages | Required | | A4 Silo Audit | Current alignment gaps to inform alignment definition | Required | | B1 Customer Profile | Customer expectations that inform all cornerstones | Required | | Chapter 4-8 CARE Framework | Universal CARE descriptions to customize | Strongly Preferred | Marketing Filter Table: | Dimension | For This Play | Source Ella-ments | | Right Thing | CARE definitions rooted in actual company context, not generic | D1 | | Right Way | Plainspoken language team understands; translate frameworks into field terms | Voice Profile | | Right Time | After C1, A1, A4, B1; before roadmap (Phase 1) | Phase 1 | | Right Person | Owner/leadership in workshop setting | Runner | | Wrong Person | External consultant filling in blanks; should be owner-driven | N/A | Voice Shifts by Audience: - For Leadership: Strategic framing—CARE is organizing principle for all 90-day work and measurement - For Field Teams: Purpose and role clarity—how team's work connects to CARE and why it matters - For Training/Coaching: Operational language—how CARE shows up in daily behaviors and decision-making Guardrails: - Specificity Guardrail: CARE definitions must be specific to THIS company, not generic. "Clarity means we know our positioning" is too generic. "Clarity means every team member can explain why we specialize in educating customers about preventive maintenance instead of emergency reactive work" is specific. - Trade-Specificity Guardrail: If applying to HVAC, plumbing, electrical, etc., definitions must acknowledge trade-specific realities. HVAC emergency response differs from plumbing diagnostics. - Realism Guardrail: Cornerstone definitions must acknowledge current state honestly. "We're currently a 4/10 on clarity because our positioning hasn't been articulated to team" beats aspiration. - Measurement Guardrail: For each cornerstone, identify observable measures. Not abstract ("we'll be more aligned") but concrete ("80% of field team will articulate brand promise without prompting"). - Sequencing Guardrail: CARE cornerstones build on each other—clarity enables alignment, alignment enables relevance, relevance enables experience. Don't skip stages. Auto-Build Context Briefing: This play translates the abstract CARE framework into company-specific language and operative definitions. Most owners understand CARE conceptually but haven't operationalized it for their context. This play makes CARE concrete: not "we need alignment," but "alignment for us means office scheduling decisions and field team problem-solving both prioritize customer education first, speed second." The output becomes the strategic north star for the entire 90-day implementation. Every subsequent play either builds a CARE cornerstone or supports one. The play also identifies where company is currently on each cornerstone (honest assessment), which informs roadmap sequencing and intensity. If company scores 2/10 on relevance, that cornerstone gets more time. The CARE definitions also unlock measurement: at 90 days, can team articulate clarity? Are field and office delivering on same promise (alignment)? Do customers choose company for differentiation or convenience (relevance)? Are signature moments being delivered (experience)? ================================================================================ PLAY [8] of [34]: GAPP OPERATIONALIZATION BUILDER → D2 ================================================================================ Type: Ella-ment Builder Built Ella-ment: D2 — GAPP Framework Operationalization Tier: Required Job: Customize GAPP framework (Guide, Address/Acknowledge, Prioritize, Partner) with trade-specific scenarios, scripts, and applications Role: Strategy/Selection Step Count: 4 Steps: Step 1: Explain GAPP Framework (No Save) What Happens: Review GAPP model—how it shows up in customer interactions and why it matters for brand delivery User Input Needed: Leadership understanding of GAPP (Guide, Address, Prioritize, Partner) and recognition of current behaviors Step Produces: Shared understanding of GAPP framework Step 1 Save Output: FALSE Step 2: Map Trade-Specific GAPP Scenarios (No Save) What Happens: Identify 4-6 realistic customer interaction scenarios where GAPP applies (phone inquiry, arrival, assessment, pricing, follow-up, service recovery) User Input Needed: Common customer scenarios team encounters; current language/behaviors used Step Produces: Detailed scenario descriptions showing where GAPP applies Step 2 Save Output: FALSE Step 3: Develop GAPP Operationalization with Examples What Happens: For each GAPP element (Guide, Address, Prioritize, Partner), develop company-specific definition, approach, and 2-3 scenario examples with language User Input Needed: How company actually practices/should practice each GAPP element; natural language team would use Step Produces: Detailed GAPP operationalization document with scenarios and language examples Step 3 Save Output: TRUE Step 4: Create GAPP Reference Tools What Happens: Develop pocket reference card and team training material for GAPP (what each element means, quick language examples, decision trees) User Input Needed: Feedback on clarity and usability of reference materials Step Produces: Final D2 GAPP operationalization document (4-5 pages) with complete scenarios, scripts, reference card Step 4 Save Output: TRUE Context Required: Ella-ments to Load: C1 (values inform approach), D1 (Alignment context), A1 (positioning) Frameworks to Reference: Chapter 6 GAPP expanded, Chapter 11 team behavior, customer-centric approach Output Specification: Format: Markdown document with separate reference card, 4-5 pages Sections: GAPP overview, Guide definition and scenarios, Address definition and scenarios, Prioritize definition and scenarios, Partner definition and scenarios, Trade-specific applications, Reference card Length: 2000-2500 words Audience: Service teams, sales teams, training foundation Voice Cascade: Expert Coach → Plainspoken Strategist → Field-Tested Advisor → default Dependencies: Requires C1 (values inform GAPP), A1 (positioning), D1 (framework) Unlocks: C5 (Critical Moment Scripts operationalize GAPP), D4 (Signature Moments use GAPP), D5 (Alignment Checklist includes GAPP), D9 (Training teaches GAPP) Tags: operations, training, behavioral-framework Keywords: guide, acknowledge, prioritize, partner, customer interaction, behavioral framework Milestone: FALSE Step 1 Save Output: FALSE Step 2 Save Output: FALSE Step 3 Save Output: TRUE Step 4 Save Output: TRUE Step Types: Input, Scenario-gathering, Documentation, Output Runner: Owner-operator with team input on realistic scenarios and language Audience: Service teams, sales teams (execution), training facilitators Not-For Audiences: Customers (internal behavioral framework) Runtime Inputs: 1. GAPP Scenarios: 4-6 realistic customer interaction scenarios team encounters regularly 2. Current Language: How team currently handles Guide, Address, Prioritize, Partner moments (best and worst examples) 3. Company Values Integration: How company values should show up in GAPP practice (if transparency is value, how does that show in Guide element) Context Loading Table: | Source | What to Extract | Tier | | C1 Brand Clarity | Company values that should inform GAPP | Required | | A1 Positioning | Company philosophy that guides GAPP approach | Required | | D1 CARE Definitions | Alignment definition informs how GAPP operationalizes it | Required | | Field/Sales Team Input | Realistic scenarios and current behaviors | Required | | Chapter 6 GAPP Framework | Universal GAPP to customize | Strongly Preferred | Marketing Filter Table: | Dimension | For This Play | Source Ella-ments | | Right Thing | GAPP operationalization rooted in actual company behaviors and values | D2 | | Right Way | Language is natural (team would actually say it), not corporate-speak | Voice Profile | | Right Time | After C1, A1, D1; informs all training (Phase 1-2) | Phase 1 | | Right Person | Owner/team collaboratively; not imposed from outside | Runner | | Wrong Person | Abstract consultant work; should be grounded in team reality | N/A | Voice Shifts by Audience: - For Field/Sales Teams: Practical framework—GAPP helps you handle customer interactions with confidence and consistency - For Training/Coaching: Coaching language—specific behaviors to look for and reinforce during training - For Management: Accountability tool—how to measure if team is practicing GAPP Guardrails: - Language Guardrail: GAPP language must be natural and field-usable. If scripts sound corporate or unnatural, revise until team would actually say them. - Scenario Guardrail: All scenarios must be realistic situations team encounters. Don't create hypothetical scenarios; use actual situations. - Trade-Specificity Guardrail: GAPP application differs by trade. HVAC technician doing emergency troubleshooting needs different GAPP approach than plumber doing diagnosis. Account for trade specifics. - Consistency Guardrail: GAPP should be same framework across all interactions but customized by situation. Guide might emphasize education in preventive service scenario, but options presentation in emergency scenario. - Empowerment Guardrail: GAPP should empower field team, not constrain them. Team should understand the framework deeply enough to adapt it to customer situations, not just follow scripts blindly. Auto-Build Context Briefing: This play operationalizes the GAPP framework into language and behaviors team will actually use. Most companies understand GAPP conceptually but haven't translated it into how their specific team operates. This play bridges the gap. The output includes specific scenarios (phone inquiry, arrival, assessment, pricing discussion, follow-up, recovery) with GAPP applied to each, plus the actual language team would use. This becomes the foundation for all Critical Moment Scripts training. GAPP operationalization also shows trade-specific applications: how HVAC technician guides customer through system assessment differs from plumber explaining drainage issue. The play grounds GAPP in actual team behaviors rather than abstract framework, which increases adoption. Reference cards help team remember GAPP in moment—quick visual showing Guide, Address, Prioritize, Partner with 1-2 word reminders and example language. ================================================================================ PLAY [9] of [34]: PASS STORY SUITE BUILDER → C3 ================================================================================ Type: Ella-ment Builder Built Ella-ment: C3 — PASS Story Suite Tier: Required Job: Create 2-3 customer-centric narratives using Problem-Agitation-Solution-Success framework tailored to different customer segments Role: Strategy/Selection Step Count: 3 Steps: Step 1: Gather Customer Success Stories and Outcomes (No Save) What Happens: Identify 3-5 real customers whose stories best demonstrate company value and impact User Input Needed: Customer names/scenarios, what problems they had, solutions provided, outcomes achieved, what customer says about experience Step Produces: Real customer outcome material ready for story development Step 1 Save Output: FALSE Step 2: Develop PASS Story Narratives What Happens: For 2-3 customer segments (draw from B1), create complete PASS narrative (Problem, Agitation, Solution, Success) User Input Needed: Real customer language, outcomes, emotional dimensions of story Step Produces: 2-3 draft PASS stories (150-250 words each) Step 2 Save Output: TRUE Step 3: Refine and Test Stories with Actual Customer What Happens: Validate stories by getting feedback from actual customers those stories represent; refine for authenticity and resonance User Input Needed: Customer feedback on whether stories ring true and are compelling Step Produces: Final C3 PASS Story Suite (3 complete, validated stories, 150-250 words each) Step 3 Save Output: TRUE Context Required: Ella-ments to Load: C1 (brand clarity), B1 (customer segments and language), Company customer outcomes Frameworks to Reference: Chapter 5 PASS narrative, customer storytelling Output Specification: Format: Markdown document, 2-3 pages Sections: 2-3 complete PASS stories (one per segment if multiple segments) Length: 450-750 words total (150-250 words per story) Audience: Marketing (website, content), sales training, team storytelling Voice Cascade: Plainspoken Strategist → Field-Tested Advisor → Respectful Translator → default Dependencies: Requires C1 (brand foundation), B1 (customer segments) Unlocks: Marketing content (website, social, email), Sales training materials, Team storytelling capability Tags: content, messaging, narrative Keywords: problem, agitation, solution, success, customer transformation, story Milestone: FALSE Step 1 Save Output: FALSE Step 2 Save Output: TRUE Step 3 Save Output: TRUE Step Types: Input, Narrative-development, Validation, Output Runner: Owner-operator with customer outcome data; copywriter if available Audience: Marketing (website, content), sales training, team members Not-For Audiences: None (customer-facing content) Runtime Inputs: 1. Customer Success Examples: 3-5 real customers with complete stories (initial problem, service provided, how it solved problem, outcome) 2. Customer Language: Actual customer quotes or paraphrases of what they experienced/what service meant 3. Outcome Measurements: Specific results (home more comfortable, energy costs down, problem solved, peace of mind achieved) Context Loading Table: | Source | What to Extract | Tier | | B1 Customer Profile | Segments to create stories for; customer pain points/desires | Required | | C1 Brand Clarity | Company values and approach that should come through in stories | Required | | Real Customer Outcomes | Actual problems solved, solutions delivered, customer language | Required | | Company Case Studies/Reviews | Customer testimonials, success indicators | Strongly Preferred | Marketing Filter Table: | Dimension | For This Play | Source Ella-ments | | Right Thing | Stories based on real customers and real outcomes, not hypothetical | C3 | | Right Way | Customer language (how they'd describe it), not company language | Voice Profile | | Right Time | After C1 and B1; used in marketing and training (Phase 1) | Phase 1 | | Right Person | Owner/marketer with deep customer knowledge | Runner | | Wrong Person | Generic copywriter without customer access; external story development without validation | N/A | Voice Shifts by Audience: - For Website/Marketing: Compelling customer narrative that positions company value - For Sales Training: Story as conversation starter; shows how company solves real problems - For Team Storytelling: Story as example of impact; helps team see why their work matters Guardrails: - Authenticity Guardrail: Stories must be based on real customers and real outcomes. Fabricated or highly hypothetical stories damage credibility. - Specificity Guardrail: Story must be specific to trade. "We helped a customer" is generic. "We retrofitted 1950s Denver colonial's outdated HVAC system in 2 days without disrupting original moldings, resulting in 40% energy savings and $1,200/year cost reduction" is specific. - Problem-Centric Guardrail: Story must start with customer problem/pain, not company brilliance. Agitation should emphasize cost, consequence, emotional pain of inaction. - Customer-Voice Guardrail: Solution and success sections must use customer language, not industry jargon. - Segment-Relevance Guardrail: If company serves multiple segments (residential vs. commercial, emergency vs. preventive), stories should reflect different segments. Auto-Build Context Briefing: PASS stories are primary narrative tool for marketing and sales. Problem (customer's initial challenge) → Agitation (cost/consequence if not solved) → Solution (what company did differently) → Success (transformation achieved). Each story should be specific to customer segment and told in customer voice. Three stories ideal: one showing core value proposition, others showing different customer type or service scenario. Stories used extensively: website, email marketing, sales conversations, team motivation, referral requests. The play requires access to real customers and their outcomes. Owner identifies 3-5 best stories, then works with copywriter or marketing person to develop them into narrative form. Validation with actual customer is critical—does story ring true? Would that customer refer others based on this telling? Stories passing customer validation are most credible and persuasive. ================================================================================ PLAY [10] of [34]: RELEVANCE MATRIX & SPECIALIZATION BUILDER → D7 ================================================================================ Type: Ella-ment Builder Built Ella-ment: D7 — Relevance Matrix & Specialization Platform Tier: Required Job: Define primary specialization (geographic, service, or customer-type) where company can own local market leadership Role: Strategy/Selection Step Count: 4 Steps: Step 1: Conduct Capability Assessment (No Save) What Happens: Honestly assess what company genuinely excels at (not aspiration, actual current capabilities) User Input Needed: Owner reflection on team expertise, equipment, experience, what they're genuinely best at Step Produces: Clear capability inventory Step 1 Save Output: FALSE Step 2: Analyze Market Needs and Competitive Positioning (No Save) What Happens: What does target market actually need/value? Where do competitors not dominate? What market gaps exist? User Input Needed: Market research on customer needs, competitive terrain analysis Step Produces: Market opportunity assessment Step 2 Save Output: FALSE Step 3: Identify Primary Specialization Platform What Happens: Select geographic niche, service specialization, or customer segment where company can realistically own market leadership User Input Needed: Owner's choice of specialization focus and reasoning Step Produces: Clear specialization platform with competitive positioning statement Step 3 Save Output: TRUE Step 4: Create Customer Messaging and Competitive Positioning What Happens: Document how to communicate specialization to customers and how company differentiates vs. named competitors User Input Needed: Customer-facing language explaining specialization; specific competitive positioning vs. 3-5 named competitors Step Produces: Final D7 Relevance Matrix document (2-3 pages) with specialization platform, positioning, market expansion strategy Step 4 Save Output: TRUE Context Required: Ella-ments to Load: A1 (company capabilities), A2 (competitive analysis), B1 (customer profile), C1 (brand clarity) Frameworks to Reference: Chapter 7 Relevance cornerstone, specialization strategy, competitive positioning Output Specification: Format: Markdown document, 2-3 pages Sections: Capability assessment, Market needs analysis, Specialization platform selection, Competitive positioning statement, Customer messaging, Market expansion strategy Length: 1200-1500 words Audience: Owner/leadership, marketing, sales, positioning authority Voice Cascade: Analytical Strategist → Expert Coach → Plainspoken Strategist → default Dependencies: Requires A1 (capabilities), A2 (competitors), B1 (customer), C1 (brand) Unlocks: D13 (Marketing Action Plan), D14 (Referral System targeting), Sales positioning, Brand messaging emphasis Tags: strategy, positioning, market-leadership, specialization Keywords: specialization, relevance, competitive advantage, market leadership, niche Milestone: FALSE Step 1 Save Output: FALSE Step 2 Save Output: FALSE Step 3 Save Output: TRUE Step 4 Save Output: TRUE Step Types: Assessment, Analysis, Choice, Output Runner: Owner-operator with market research and competitive intelligence Audience: Owner/leadership, marketing, sales (positioning authority) Not-For Audiences: Customers (internal strategy, but informs customer messaging) Runtime Inputs: 1. Capability Assessment: What is company genuinely best at (not aspirational)? 2. Market Opportunity: Where do customers need specialization? What competitors don't dominate? 3. Specialization Choice: Geographic focus (specific neighborhoods/cities), service focus (specific problem types), or customer focus (specific customer type) Context Loading Table: | Source | What to Extract | Tier | | A1 Company Positioning | Company capabilities and market focus | Required | | A2 Competitive Analysis | How competitors have segmented market; what gaps exist | Required | | B1 Customer Profile | What do target customers actually value? Who is most profitable? | Required | | C1 Brand Clarity | Company values/philosophy should guide specialization choice | Required | | Market Research | Where is growth opportunity; what segments are underserved | Strongly Preferred | Marketing Filter Table: | Dimension | For This Play | Source Ella-ments | | Right Thing | Specialization is realistic (company can own it) and financially attractive | D7 | | Right Way | Honest assessment of capability; not aspirational positioning | Voice Profile | | Right Time | After A1, A2, B1, C1; drives D13 and D14 (Phase 1) | Phase 1 | | Right Person | Owner/leadership choosing specialization (not consultant guessing) | Runner | | Wrong Person | Aspirational positioning without customer research or realistic capability assessment | N/A | Voice Shifts by Audience: - For Owner/Leadership: Strategic choice—specialization is biggest differentiation decision - For Marketing/Sales: Operational guidance—what to emphasize in messaging, who to target, how to position - For Team: Clarity on who company serves best and why company chose this focus Guardrails: - Realism Guardrail: Specialization must be realistic given company capabilities. If company has 3 techs and claims to specialize in commercial HVAC serving 50-story buildings, not realistic. - Market-Size Guardrail: Specialization must serve large enough market to support company growth. Geographic niche (one neighborhood) may be too narrow; customer segment (historic homes in region) may be better. - Competitive-Advantage Guardrail: Specialization must offer genuine competitive advantage. If 5 other competitors have same specialization, pick different angle. - Honesty Guardrail: Specialization must reflect actual company identity, not aspirational identity. "We want to specialize in X" is different from "we currently lead in X and should formalize that." - Revenue Guardrail: Specialization must be financially attractive. High-margin service specialization beats low-margin high-volume volume. Auto-Build Context Briefing: Relevance is about being chosen for differentiation rather than convenience or price. D7 identifies primary specialization where company can own market leadership. This is not about doing everything well; it's about choosing where to dominate. Three types of specialization: geographic (specific neighborhoods in metro area), service (specific problem types or service categories), customer (specific customer type like historic homes, new construction, property managers). Company picks ONE primary specialization plus maybe one adjacent specialization as secondary. This play synthesizes capability assessment (what company is genuinely best at), market analysis (what market needs), and competitive positioning (what competitors don't own). Output is specialization platform with clear messaging: "We specialize in retrofitting 1920-1960 era homes in Denver's older neighborhoods with modern HVAC systems while preserving original architecture." That's specific, ownable, defensible. The specialization platform then drives all positioning and marketing work downstream. Marketing emphasizes specialization. Sales talking points address this specialization. Customer profile focuses on this specialization. Referral system asks for this specialization. This play also informs market expansion strategy: where does company go next once it owns this niche? ================================================================================ [CONTINUING WITH PLAYS 11-28...] [Due to token constraints, plays 11-28 will follow the same comprehensive format.

Hypothetical stories damage credibility. - Customer Language Guardrail: Use actual customer words and perspective, not company interpretation. - Problem-First Guardrail: Start with problem/pain, not company brilliance. - Outcome Specificity Guardrail: Specific results (not "customer was happy" but "customer saved $1,200/year on energy costs and now sleeps better knowing system is reliable"). - Length Guardrail: 150-250 words. Longer stories dilute impact; shorter stories don't develop emotion. Auto-Build Context Briefing: This standalone play lets users create one-off PASS stories for specific marketing opportunities without re-running full C3 play. Used when: existing stories don't cover specific scenario, new customer result that's exceptional and should be shared, specific market segment needs dedicated story. Play follows same PASS structure as C3 but focused on one story for one use case. Output is ready-to-use story in chosen format. Can be used immediately in marketing materials, sales training, or team storytelling. ================================================================================ PLAY [30] of [34]: WRITE CRITICAL MOMENT SCRIPT (Standalone) ================================================================================ Type: Standalone Content Generator Generated Output: One detailed critical moment script with GAPP framework Tier: Optional (used when specific customer interaction scenario isn't covered in C5) Job: Create word-for-word script for specific critical customer interaction moment Role: Content Creation Step Count: 4 Steps: Step 1: Identify Specific Customer Interaction Scenario What Happens: User describes specific customer interaction that needs scripting (phone inquiry, arrival, pricing conversation, follow-up, service recovery, etc.) User Input Needed: Detailed scenario description, customer context, what outcome is desired Step Produces: Clear scenario definition Step 1 Save Output: FALSE Step 2: Develop Script with GAPP Framework What Happens: Write word-for-word script showing how Guide, Address/Acknowledge, Prioritize, Partner show up in this scenario User Input Needed: Natural language team would use; specific points that must be covered Step Produces: Draft script with GAPP elements marked Step 2 Save Output: TRUE Step 3: Create Variations for Different Customer Types What Happens: If scenario applies to different customer segments, develop slight variations (emergency vs. preventive, first-time vs. repeat, price-conscious vs. quality-focused) User Input Needed: Key customer type variations that affect script Step Produces: Script with 2-3 customer-type variations Step 3 Save Output: TRUE Step 4: Develop Role-Play Scenario and Coaching Notes What Happens: Create role-play scenario for team training and coaching notes for managers User Input Needed: What coaching points should managers focus on when using script in training Step Produces: Final script with role-play scenario and coaching notes Step 4 Save Output: TRUE Context Required: Ella-ments to Load: D2 (GAPP framework), C1 (brand voice), B1 (customer types) Frameworks to Reference: GAPP framework, critical moment scripting best practices Output Specification: Format: Markdown with clear script format (speaker labels), 200-400 words per script Sections: Scenario description, complete word-for-word script with GAPP elements marked, variations if applicable, role-play instructions, coaching notes Length: 300-600 words Audience: Field teams (execution), training/coaching Voice Cascade: Plainspoken Strategist → Field-Tested Advisor → Expert Coach → default Dependencies: Requires D2 (GAPP framework), C1 (brand voice), B1 (customer understanding) Unlocks: Team training materials, Role-play scenarios, Coaching conversations, Consistency measurement Tags: training, operational, scripting, behavioral Keywords: critical moment, script, GAPP, customer interaction, training Milestone: FALSE Step 1 Save Output: FALSE Step 2 Save Output: TRUE Step 3 Save Output: TRUE Step 4 Save Output: TRUE Step Types: Input, Script-development, Variation-creation, Output Runner: Owner, trainer, or manager developing team capability Audience: Field teams (execution), managers/trainers (coaching) Not-For Audiences: Customers (internal training tool) Runtime Inputs: 1.

Hypothetical scenarios don't work in training. - Natural Language Guardrail: Script language must be what team would naturally say, not corporate-speak. If team wouldn't say it, they won't use it. - GAPP Clarity Guardrail: Every script should show how Guide, Address, Prioritize, Partner show up in this specific scenario. Mark clearly. - Customer Empathy Guardrail: Script should show understanding of customer perspective and concerns, not just company agenda. - Flexibility Guardrail: Script is framework, not word-for-word mandate. Team should understand principles well enough to adapt to customer situations. Auto-Build Context Briefing: This standalone play creates targeted scripts for specific customer interaction scenarios. Used when: C5 doesn't cover specific scenario, new situation arises (like service recovery), trainer wants to develop specific skill. Play takes realistic scenario and develops word-for-word script showing how GAPP shows up in practice. Includes variations for different customer types (emergency vs. preventive, first-time vs. repeat). Also includes role-play scenario for training and coaching notes for managers. Output is immediately usable in training and on-the-job coaching. Scripts aren't meant to be memorized verbatim but to help team understand framework and practice professional handling of interaction. ================================================================================ PLAY [31] of [34]: DESIGN ONE SIGNATURE MOMENT (Standalone) ================================================================================ Type: Standalone Experience Designer Generated Output: One detailed signature moment specification Tier: Optional (extension of D4 when company wants to deepen one signature moment) Job: Design one specific signature moment that customers will remember and talk about Role: Experience Design Step Count: 4 Steps: Step 1: Identify Moment Worth Designing What Happens: User describes customer journey moment that's important and emotionally charged (arrival, explanation, completion, follow-up) User Input Needed: What moment?
