Seasonal readiness
Peak season is not a bigger version of a normal week. It is a different operating mode where small mistakes compound across every interval for six weeks.

Reach for this when someone says any of these — they are the phrases the skill itself triggers on:
- “peak season readiness”
- “holiday staffing plan”
- “Black Friday prep”
How it works
The method, in the order the skill runs it. The full procedure — tables, worked examples and the edge cases — is in the skill itself.
What to freeze (and for how long)
During peak, change is a demand multiplier. Every policy tweak, KB rewrite, macro edit and routing experiment creates handle-time inflation and repeat contact that your volume forecast did not include.
What to pre-stage
Staging happens weeks before, not the night before. Minimum set.
Daily war room: what to measure
A 15–30 minute stand-up during peak, same time every day, same deck. Do not add metrics because anxiety is high. Six to eight numbers, owners attached.
After-action
Within two weeks of return to baseline, before teams scatter: Forecast accuracy, Staffing model, Freeze discipline, Quality and repeat contact, Attrition and absence, Customer-visible incidents.
