scheme's
Conspiracy's defining feature
Scheme's is the possessive form of scheme.
A scheme is a plan or systematic arrangement—often with connotations of cleverness or deviousness: The scheme's success depended on perfect timing.
In British usage, scheme can be neutral, referring to official programs: the pension scheme's new rules.
The word also denotes a structured system: a color scheme's palette, a rhyme scheme's pattern.
