Alright, let’s dissect the plan into its atomic pieces. Start with the objective—write it in one sentence, no fluff, no room for interpretation. Then list every resource: people, gear, intel, and map. Assign each asset a single, unambiguous role—no overlap, no double‑dipping. Next, create a timeline where every second counts; put a buffer only where a failure would be catastrophic, not where you can afford a typo. For every contingency, write a single action that flips the outcome from failure to success; keep that list shorter than your coffee order. Finally, run a dry run on the board, force a failure in each node, and note the ripples. If something still feels loose, tighten it until the only variable left is the enemy’s own stupidity. Remember, a plan with no slack is a plan that’s either perfect or doomed—pick the first.
