How Defusely Works (7-step workflow)

A disciplined 7-step Reddit crisis workflow: Detect, Assess, Contain, Decide, Craft, Coordinate, Post‑mortem.

Summary

Defusely runs Reddit incidents through 7 stages so PR and comms teams execute consistently: Detect → Assess → Contain → Decide → Craft → Coordinate → Post‑mortem.

The 7 stages

1) Detect

Capture a risky Reddit URL and create a WarRoom.

2) Assess

AI summarizes the thread, highlights key issues, and scores severity so stakeholders align fast.

3) Contain

Stabilize internal context and stop “off-script” responses while facts are gathered.

4) Decide

Lock a clear strategy (engage, correct, request mod help, or monitor) and assign an owner.

5) Craft

Draft Reddit-native replies with versions and notes in one place.

6) Coordinate

Route drafts through PR/legal/exec approvals with due times and an audit trail.

7) Post‑mortem

Record outcome, export the timeline report, and capture learnings.
