Glossary
Decision Autopsy
Taking a past call apart.
In short
A structured retrospective on a past decision that dissects the reasoning, the assumptions, and the outcome to extract durable lessons for future decisions. Unlike a post-mortem, it runs on every meaningful decision — not just the failures — because success can hide bad reasoning just as easily as failure reveals it.
