Preview — The Goal
🎯 The Goal: Post-mortems study failures; pre-mortems PREVENT them. Before any launch, event, or big rollout, gather the team and announce: 'It's three months from now. This launched and failed catastrophically. What caused it?' Working backward from an assumed disaster surfaces the blind spots, silent doubts, and security holes that optimistic planning meetings are structurally incapable of finding — because in a pre-mortem, pessimism is finally the assignment.
