The BEST statement for the crisis managers to make at this point is:

**“We’re gathering as much information as we can to confirm our understanding of the problem.”**

This statement acknowledges the current uncertainty, emphasizes that the company is actively working to gather accurate information, and sets a tone of transparency and diligence. It avoids giving false hope or causing further concern by not implying optimism or certainty that may not yet be warranted.
