A resident sits down to dinner in a dining room she has eaten in for six years. Around her, plates arrive: roast chicken, glazed carrots, whipped potatoes. In front of her, a bowl of beige. She did not order it. Her swallow did. The Dignified Plate exists so that the kitchen changes that story: the same numerical floors in every brand, two production tiers, two-person release, and a plate that looks like dinner.
Level colors and names follow the IDDSI Framework (International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative, CC BY-SA 4.0, iddsi.org). Mixed legacy and IDDSI labeling during a transition is a documented texture-error vector; the playbook carries the legacy-order translation protocol.
Playbook v3 supersedes the v2 playbook and, through it, the standalone SOP and Field Operations Workbook from May 2026. Where wording differs, the playbook wins.
