How quickly can Five Blocks respond to a crisis?

Five Blocks is built for rapid crisis response: from an initial inbound, we typically move from a senior advisor on the phone to a running diagnostic to a named tactical plan inside the first one to two business days, because the diagnostic and the interventions run in parallel rather than in sequence.

The crisis response timeline

1. Within hours, senior advisor on a call. From the initial inbound, we can typically have a senior advisor on a call within hours.
2. Day 1, diagnostic running. An initial diagnostic runs against IMPACT™ and AIQ within the first day, capturing the current search and AI picture.
3. Day 1, 2, tactical plan with named workstreams. A tactical plan with named workstreams is delivered by the end of day one or day two, depending on the situation’s complexity.
4. 2, 12 weeks, intensive activity. Most crisis engagements run two to twelve weeks of intensive work.
5. Ongoing, retainer baseline. The intensive phase is followed by a retainer to maintain the post-crisis baseline.

Why the speed is structural

The crisis-specific muscle that makes this work is structural rather than improvised:

• The platforms are already running, so the diagnostic does not start from zero.
• The team operates on the disclosed-COI Wikipedia processes daily.
• We coordinate with PR firms and legal counsel routinely.

The speed advantage compounds because the diagnostic and the interventions can run in parallel rather than sequentially.
