FAQ
Enter the site that most controls the trip: hotel, office, conference venue, speaking venue, residence, meeting site, plant, clinic, or other anchor. If the principal sleeps in one place but the real exposure is a public event, make the public event the primary site and put the hotel in the secondary sites.
Include up to four secondary sites. These can be offices, dinner venues, airports, conference halls, media locations, hospital paths, government buildings, or other planned stops. Each one gets a lighter assessment than the primary site but still affects route and adjacent-risk logic.
It helps the principal, assistant, travel desk, driver team, or support staff understand site, route, timing, current-signal, and escalation considerations before the itinerary is finalized or movement begins.
Include the number of vehicles, whether drivers are dedicated, whether support staff or protection staff are traveling, whether vehicles should stay staged, and whether the principal is comfortable using rideshare, taxi, public transit, walking, or only private vehicles.
