    social: ['sprinklr', 'talkwalker'],
    internal: ['employee-hotline', 'customer-service'],
    regulatory: ['sec-filings', 'fda-alerts']
  },
  alertTiers: {
    tier1: {
      triggers: ['executive-mention-negative', 'regulatory-action', 'data-breach'],
      escalation: 'immediate',
      notification: ['cco', 'ceo', 'legal', 'crisis-team']
    },
    tier2: {
      triggers: ['product-issue', 'employee-incident', 'competitor-attack'],
      escalation: '15min',

    type: 'data-breach',
    detectedAt: '2026-02-15T14:30:00Z',
    severity: 'tier1',
    status: 'active'
  },
  actions: [
    { time: '14:30', action: 'Alert triggered', owner: 'system' },
    { time: '14:32', action: 'Crisis team notified', owner: 'system' },
    { time: '14:45', action: 'War room activated', owner: 'CCO' },
    { time: '15:00', action: 'Holding statement approved', owner: 'Legal' },
    { time: '15:15', action: 'Dark site activated', owner: 'Digital' },
    { time: '15:30', action: 'Employee communication sent', owner: 'Internal Comms' },
    { time: '16:00', action: 'Press statement released', owner: 'Media Relations' }
  ],
  metrics: {
    detectionToNotification: '2min',
    notificationToActivation: '13min',
    activationToStatement: '45min',
    mediaInquiriesReceived: 15,
    socialMentions: 450,
    employeeQuestions: 89
  },
  stakeholders: {
    media: { contacted: 15, responded: 12 },
    employees: { notified: 'all', questions: 89 },
    customers: { notified: 'affected', inquiries: 234 },
    regulators: { notified: true, filingRequired: true }
  }
};
