The prompt that gets copied

Run a pre-mortem on my plan. Imagine it's [TIME FRAME, e.g. 6 months] from now and this plan has clearly failed. My plan, in 3 to 5 sentences: [YOUR PLAN, e.g. launch a group program in March]. Success would have looked like: [YOUR GOAL, e.g. 15 paying members by April]. List every realistic reason it failed, specific to my situation rather than generic. For each one, write a short story of how it played out, the assumption behind it, and the early warning signs I'd notice. Then tell me the most likely failure, the most dangerous failure, the biggest hidden assumption I'm making, a revised plan with changes tied to each failure, and a checklist of 3 to 5 things to verify before I commit. If you need more context, ask me questions one at a time first.

Tell AI your plan, then have it imagine it's 6 months later and the plan failed. It explains each likely cause, the warning signs, your hidden assumption, and a stronger revised plan.
