Decision review

Run a pre-mortem on a plan

Assume the plan failed and identify plausible causes you can test or prepare for.

Give the review a clear task

  • Define the intended outcome and time horizon.
  • Describe the dependencies most likely to fail.
  • Identify early warning signs.
  • Assign a mitigation or test to the important risks.

Treat the failure scenarios as hypotheses. Do not present their imagined details as forecasts or evidence.

Run the review

Open Pingpong with your question and relevant context. The models review the original question and earlier answers in sequence. Ask for the reasoning behind each proposed change, then verify it before using it.
