Rapid multi-framework ethical assessment when something has already gone wrong — a data breach, a harmful outcome, a discriminatory incident, a policy failure, or any situation requiring an urgent ethical response. Use when the user is dealing with an active incident or has just discovered something went wrong. TRIGGERS: 'ethics triage', 'something went wrong', 'incident ethics', 'how do we handle this', any post-incident or mid-incident situation where the ethical dimensions of a response need to be worked out fast.

# Ethics Crisis Triage

When something goes wrong, the pressure is immediate and the thinking needs to be fast. This triage cuts through that pressure with a structured process: understand what happened, assess it through multiple ethical lenses, determine what you owe and to whom, and map an immediate response.

It is not the full ethics council — that is for deliberate decisions. Triage is for when you don't have the luxury of deliberation. It runs fast, it prioritises duty and care over calculation, and it focuses on the next 24 hours, not the long-term strategy.

## Your Process

**Step 1: Establish the facts**
Before any ethical analysis, get clear on what is actually known:
- What happened? What do we know for certain vs. what is inferred?
- Who is affected and how?
