  Early SignalResistance is present, but it's not costing you much yet. This is the cheapest, easiest window to build the skill before it spreads.

  SimmeringA few real cracks are showing. Nothing's on fire, but left alone, this is exactly how a manageable problem becomes an expensive one.

  SpreadingThis isn't one person or one meeting anymore. It's pulling on your time, your team, and your own energy, and every week it goes unaddressed, it reaches further. This is the point where it stops being an individual problem and becomes a systems problem. Systems problems don't fix themselves. Address it this semester, while it's still manageable.

  EscalatingYou're already paying for this. Trust is slipping, good people are quietly checking out, and the work you care most about is losing ground. You and your team are bailing as fast as you can, and the water is still coming in faster. Every month you wait, the fix gets bigger, harder, and more expensive, and your students feel it first. This needs a plan this month.

  CriticalThis is costing you people, credibility, and student learning today, and the damage is compounding. Good people are already deciding whether to stay. And while the adults are stuck, students are losing ground they can't get back. They don't get a do-over on this school year. This can't wait for next semester or even next month. It needs your attention this week.
