strategy: "Boost promotion, add incentive"
trigger: "<50% target at T-2 weeks"
speaker_cancellation:
strategy: "Activate backup speaker"
fallback: "Panel discussion"
technical_issues:
strategy: "Switch to backup equipment"
Failure Modes & Recovery
| Failure Mode | Detection | Recovery |
|---|---|---|
| Low registrations | <50% at T-2w | Boost promo |
| Low show rate | <60% attendance | Better reminders |
| Speaker no-show | Day-of absence | Backup speaker |
| A/V failure | Tech issues | Backup equipment |
