What problem does it solve?
Unstructured What-If workshops often miss critical failure modes, produce unactionable unranked outputs, or fabricate consequences and risk ratings that fail regulatory and process safety standards. Generic AI safety tools produce generic, regulator-rejectable paperwork with no discipline around scope, team input, or hierarchy of controls, leaving safety leaders with incomplete, non-compliant documentation.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured Intake & Scope Enforcement: Runs a one-question-at-a-time intake to bound the study scope to a named process/operation/procedure, capture the team, question seeds, and jurisdiction, refusing to proceed on vague requests like "run a What-If for us".
- Disciplined What-If Facilitation: Builds a systematic question set covering loss of utility, wrong sequence, wrong material, human error, external events, and equipment failure, recording only the team's actual responses and marking unanswered items [GAP] instead of inventing data.
- Integrated Safety Guardrails: Applies hierarchy of controls ranking to all safeguards, flags administrative/PPE-only controls without justification, runs mandatory de-identification of sensitive personnel and health data, and includes a pre-output SME review and quality check to ensure outputs meet process safety standards.
- Use Case: A process safety manager at a chemical plant needs to run a What-If analysis on a new tanker loading procedure. They use this skill to structure the workshop question set, capture the team's responses in real time, rank risks and controls, and produce a compliant, de-identified register tracked to closure without missing critical failure modes.
Quick Start
Use the whatif-facilitator skill to run a structured What-If analysis on your named process, operation, or procedure, answering the intake questions one at a time to generate a risk-ranked, team-recorded workshop register with no invented consequences or risk ratings.
