# RAPID

**RAPID** is a decision-rights framework mentioned in the source alongside [[entity-raci-d1]] and [[entity-dare-d1]] as a tool that can fail when it becomes **disconnected from real behavior** (see [[concept-decision-rights]]).

> **Canonical reference (enrichment):** RAPID is McKinsey's (originally Bain-associated) decision-rights framework, commonly expanded as **Recommend, Agree, Perform, Input, Decide**. It represents the broader shift from simple role matrices toward clearer decision protocols where the key question is *who actually decides*, not merely *who is involved*.
