The pre-mortem: find how your plan fails before it does
Hands the model a plan and asks it to write the post-mortem for a failure that hasn't happened yet. Surfaces the risks your team is too invested to name out loud.
Podcast episode
Nearly nine in ten companies use AI. Thirty-seven percent see it in earnings. Rony and Meghna unpack why the tools had a huge year and the scoreboard didn't — and what the six percent who moved EBIT actually did differently.

Theme
Almost everyone uses AI now. Almost nobody has actually changed the company.
Rony sits down with Meghna — staff engineer, fifteen years in backend systems — to dig into that gap. Finance teams with a tab open on every desk. Closes that still take the same number of days. CEOs staring at flat cost-to-serve and wondering who lied.
Nobody lied. The speed leaked into nicer drafts — not fewer steps.
It's not a technology story. It's a manners story — who is allowed to delete work.

Hands the model a plan and asks it to write the post-mortem for a failure that hasn't happened yet. Surfaces the risks your team is too invested to name out loud.
For when the date won't move. Sorts the plan into what ships, what waits, and what quietly gets cancelled — and names what breaks for users in each case.
Separates what was decided from what was merely discussed, attributes owners, and flags the open questions everyone left the room assuming someone else would answer.
