Per the skill descriptions provided in all three game line core rule books the Rules As Written state that a Triumph rolled with the Vigilance skill provides an extra maneuver while a Triumph rolled on the Cool skill allows for the elimination of (3) accrued Strain.
I am of the opinion that 'Triumph' should be awarded when rolled thus have allowed the following choices available when a Triumph is rolled on an Initiative check.
1. An extra Maneuver for the PC that rolled it for either Cool or Vigilance (additionally this would be considered 'Outside of the Character's Turn' and would not count against the (2) Maneuver limit)
2. To automatically have the first Initiative slot of the first round (after which it will revert back to the roll's 'normal' Initiative value)
3. Pass a Boost die to another PC
4. Receive a +1 bonus to either Melee or Ranged Defense for the first round
