Run a Pre-Mortem on a High-Stakes Decision
Prompt Template
Act as a risk strategist. I am about to make this major decision: [DECISION]. Before I proceed, run a pre-mortem: imagine it is 12 months from now and this decision has failed spectacularly. Identify the top 5 most likely reasons it failed, the warning signs I should have caught early, and the mitigation steps I should put in place today to prevent each failure mode.
Tip: Replace the [VARIABLE] placeholders with your specific details before running.
