Consultation Response Red Team.
LiveRed Team ReviewAttack a draft consultation response from the public affairs, regulatory, evidence and ecosystem angles before it reaches the authority.
Consultation Response Red Team is a ready-made use case for Public Affairs. It ships under the Red Team Review template.
For public and regulatory affairs leads before a submission. You get each attack in its seat's terms, which survive, the one claim that would bring the response down and the mitigations. Stays adversarial and does not rewrite the draft.

The decision
Where does the draft response to a public consultation fail, before it is submitted to the authority?
How the seats attack
Each seat attacks the draft from its own angle and the report scores which attacks survive.
| Seat | How it attacks | What it works from |
|---|---|---|
| Global Public Affairs Lead | Whether the response answers the questions the consultation puts, and whether its asks are ones the authority can grant.1 | The consultation document. |
| Regulatory Strategist | Whether the response matches what the authority’s rules allow. | The authority’s published rules and guidance. |
| HEOR Evidence Lead | Whether every claim about evidence or cost stands. | The cited evidence. |
| Ecosystem Intelligence Orchestrator | How other respondents are likely to answer, from public positions, and where this response will conflict with them.2 | Public positions of other organizations. |
What the red team does
Answer the question asked. The first attack is whether each answer addresses a question the consultation actually puts, in the order it puts them.1
Claims that will not survive. Each claim in the response is attacked by the seat whose discipline suits the test, and the report scores which attacks survive.
Weakest point. The report names the one claim that, if broken, would bring down the response.
Recommended length
Standard
Four angles can break this response. Standard depth gives each a seat, scores the challenges and lists mitigations and tripwires.
You can pick another length on the form. The other two stay available.
Assumptions the red team tests
The red team lists the assumptions the plan relies on and says what would break each. Examples for this plan:
- The consultation document is complete and has not been amended.
- The evidence the response cites exists in citable form.
- Other respondents’ positions are as published.
Standards, guidance and sources
Frame
The decision practice behind the memo itself is on the template page.
What gets flagged
Any attack with no cited fact, any answer to a question the consultation did not ask, and any claim in the draft that no seat tested. Any term or position given without the document that states it and that document’s date.
What arrives
- The position under test
- Verdict
- The challenges, by angle
- Which challenges survive
- The pre-mortem
- What would have to be true
- Mitigations and tripwires
- Where the position is weakest
What it will not do
It stays adversarial and does not defend the plan. It is a stress test by AI specialists and not a vote of human experts, and the decision stays with you.
It does not rewrite the response.
It does not defend the plan. Defenses appear only as the status of an attack.
It does not invent an attack. Each challenge rests on a cited fact or is marked as a gap.
It is not a vote of human experts. Every seat is an AI specialist, and the report says so.

About the Panel service
Each panelist answers in their own voice, then the discussion is drawn together. You get the question and who was in the room, every position in full, what they agreed on, where they split, and what follows. Disagreements are written down rather than smoothed into a consensus nobody actually holds, because the split is usually the part you needed.
