We're the in-the-moment helper that sits next to those resources, not above them. Need a quick training plan tonight? Need a pre-incident draft for the building you walked yesterday? We turn the 'I should sit down and write this' into 'I have a starting draft in 5 minutes' — you fill the rest.
When we're right:
You have one specific shift / building / member's plan to draft right now.
