SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you find the hidden assumptions, dependencies, and failure points in a plan before you commit time, money, or reputation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Assumption extraction: Surfaces the market, customer, execution, competitive, financial, and dependency bets embedded in a plan.
  • Risk prioritization: Ranks assumptions by confidence and impact so you can focus on the vulnerabilities that can break the plan.
  • Decision hardening: Maps dependency chains, identifies irreversible commitments, and suggests validation or contingency actions.
  • Use cases: Product roadmaps, go-to-market launches, hiring plans, fundraising strategies, and any initiative that needs a realistic pre-mortem.

Quick Start

Ask the Skill to challenge a specific plan and return the key assumptions, biggest risks, dependency chain, and kill switches.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a pre-mortem on a go-to-market launch plan?▼

A pre-mortem identifies hidden weaknesses in a plan before execution by extracting core assumptions, rating confidence and impact, mapping dependency chains, and defining reversibility and kill switches for high-stakes initiatives.

What is the best way to identify hidden assumptions in a product roadmap?▼

Identifying hidden assumptions in a product roadmap requires surfacing market, customer, execution, competitive, financial, and dependency bets embedded in the plan to prioritize vulnerabilities by confidence and impact.

How do I map dependency chains for strategic planning and risk analysis?▼

Mapping dependency chains for strategic planning involves extracting interconnected assumptions, rating their confidence and impact, identifying irreversible commitments, and defining validation or contingency actions to harden decisions.

Does dependency mapping work for hiring plans and fundraising strategies?▼

Yes, dependency mapping works for hiring plans and fundraising strategies by extracting critical assumptions, evaluating their reversibility, and establishing kill switches to prevent cascading failures across high-stakes initiatives.

When should I not use a pre-mortem for decision making?▼

You should avoid pre-mortems for decision making when a plan involves minimal assumptions, lacks irreversible commitments, or carries low stakes where dependency mapping and risk analysis overhead outweighs the benefits.
