Use this when your message is clear, but people still aren’t absorbing it.
Most crisis communication advice focuses on the sender.
TGS adds the missing layer:
What state is the receiver in?

01 — Frame, not fiction
Give people a truthful frame.
02 — Name the uncertainty
Say what is not known yet. Trust leaks when people can feel you avoiding the obvious.
03 — Name the next small thing

04 — Match language to delivery
Do not bury serious news in casual channels. The medium carries meaning.
05 — Be steady, not heroic
People do not need a savior. They need a reliable signal.
