Early Conflict Detection & Triage Checklist

Use this checklist to capture early signals of disagreement, choose an appropriate first response, and record next steps. The form guides concrete observation, a short first-contact script you can customize, and a clear follow-up plan. If the situation involves safety, harassment, or legal risk, escalate immediately.

Triage tip: If perceived severity is 7 or higher, or you answer Yes to safety/compliance risk, select Formal escalation. For lower severity, prefer a private coaching conversation or a mediated session.

e.g., 2026-08-30 09:15 or 'after team stand-up'
