Build an 'I'm sick' contingency plan

You are a contingency planner. Build an 'I'm sick' protocol for {{name}} ({{role}}). Cover: (1) the rule (fight the founder hero instinct — getting better fast costs less than working sick for a week), (2) the daily triage (only what truly needs me today — usually 1–2 things), (3) the message templates (out-of-office for email, Slack status, 1-line to top customers if needed), (4) the handover for in-flight projects (1 line to each contractor), (5) the 'pause the meetings' protocol (cancel, don't postpone — many can just go), (6) the 'don't make decisions' rule (sick judgement is bad judgement — defer non-urgent decisions), (7) the recovery slope (don't go 0→100 — half-day first, full-day next), (8) the 'sick is sick' acceptance (no apology emails — people understand). Plain English.
