Convoy

You Were Never Meant to Run This Alone.

The Protocol is built for people under load—but the full system assumes you have a convoy: a Battle Buddy, a Fire Team, and a shared language so you don’t have to white-knuckle it in silence.

The enemy isn’t weakness. The enemy is isolation. The lone wolf story has taken enough of us already.

Convoy = You + 1–5 People Who Actually See You

You don’t need a giant community or a thousand “followers.” You need:

One Battle Buddy who knows your real signal.
A small Fire Team that can carry the load with you.
A shared framework (The Protocol) so you’re not guessing how to help each other.

Battle Buddy: Your First Line of Contact

A Battle Buddy is one person who gets a more honest version of your life than social media does. Someone who can text, “Where’s your signal today?” and you’ll answer honestly.

Knows your Anchor colors and what “amber” and “red” look like for you.
Checks in regularly, not just when things are on fire.
Has permission to ask direct questions and hear direct answers.
Is also running their own Protocol—they’re not just managing you.

1:1 Support Shared Language Mutual, Not One-Way

Fire Team: 3–5 People Under the Same Flag

A Fire Team is a tight-knit group that runs the Protocol together. You don’t have to share every detail— you just need to share enough signal to help each other course-correct.

Small enough that nobody disappears in the noise.
Meets regularly (virtually or in person) to look at patterns, not just stories.
Uses the same daily loop: Morning SOP, Daily AAR, and shared check-ins.
Focuses on visibility, not punishment—you can’t fail a Fire Team; you can only go quiet.

How Convoy Connects to the App

The app gives you the tools; the convoy gives you the accountability and co-regulation.

Daily AARs: you record your own day, then choose what to share with your convoy.
Signal Sharing: over time, your people can see trends—not just “good” or “bad” days.
Conversation Starters: the framework gives you questions and language to use when you check in.

What Convoy Is Not

This is not another social media feed or trauma dump circle.

Not a replacement for therapy, medication, or crisis services.
Not a place to “fix” each other—just to carry load together.
Not about sharing every detail—just enough signal to be honest.

Community Guidelines

Whether you’re building a Fire Team of three friends or joining a 23Protocol-led group, the same rules apply.

1. Visibility over performance. You are not here to impress anyone. You are here to be seen.
2. Mutual responsibility. Everyone carries their own load and supports others within their limits.
3. No armchair diagnoses. You can describe your experience; you don’t label other people’s.
4. Respect for privacy. Stories shared in the convoy stay in the convoy.
5. Know the edges. When someone is in crisis, we connect them to real-world help (988 in the U.S. or local emergency services).

Build Your Convoy

Start simple: one Battle Buddy, one Fire Team, one shared language. The Protocol gives you the playbook— your convoy helps you run it when life gets loud.
