What problem does it solve? Teams commit to plans, bids, and launches while carrying unspoken doubts and unexamined risks that only surface after failure. This Skill runs a structured pre-mortem that assumes the plan has already failed and works backward to expose the real risks while there is still time to act. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Failure Simulation: Imagines the plan failing after launch and traces back what went wrong, what was missed, and where the team was overconfident. - Risk Classification: Sorts risks into Tigers (real, evidence-backed), Paper Tigers (overblown concerns to document, not fund), and Elephants (unspoken worries needing investigation). - Action Planning: Classifies each Tiger as blocking, fast-follow, or track, then writes mitigation plans with owners and dates for every blocking risk. - Use Case: Two weeks before submitting a major bid, run a pre-mortem to surface the delivery risk nobody has raised, classify it as blocking, and assign a mitigation owner before the submission deadline. ## Quick Start Run a pre-mortem on the attached launch plan and list the blocking Tigers with mitigation owners and dates.
