Thinks through failure in advance to surface risks, countermeasures, and critical assumptions early.
Core question: Which plausible reasons could make this initiative fail at the assumed point, and how will we detect or reduce them?
Decision methodMethod form: Decision method. Describes how this method is used in practice.LowComplexity: low. Estimates preparation, facilitation effort, and method confidence needed.WorkshopFormat: workshop. Shows whether the method works in a workshop, asynchronously, or both.

EngineeringCategory: Engineering. Describes the method's domain of use.
Thinks through failures in advance, assesses controls, and shows gaps in testing, prevention, and response.
Core question: Which credible failure paths threaten a critical service, how will we detect and limit them, and which residual uncertainty needs rehearsal?
Analysis methodMethod form: Analysis method. Describes how this method is used in practice.MediumComplexity: medium. Estimates preparation, facilitation effort, and method confidence needed.WorkshopFormat: workshop. Shows whether the method works in a workshop, asynchronously, or both.
