Coalition Minimum Agreement

Use this when a small coalition needs enough structure to work together without pretending everyone agrees on everything.

Shared goal

We are working together to move this one ask:

• [ask]

Shared facts

We agree on these facts or evidence points:

• [fact]
• [fact]
• [fact]

Shared rules

• We focus on the ask, not each other’s whole worldview.
• We do not make claims we cannot support.
• We name disagreements early and keep them narrow.
• We do not publicly surprise each other on the core ask.

Shared timeline

• next decision date:
• next action:
• next follow-up:

Exit rule

If the coalition can no longer support the shared ask or shared rules, any group may step back without public drama.
