CORE TOOLS Fabric (Open Source), DeepSeek / Claude
BEST FOR Founders, engineering & product leads, project managers, traders
REQUIREMENTS Brief timeline of the setback; any LLM
✦ WHY THIS WORKFLOW

Apply the `danielmiessler/fabric` **analyze_mistakes** pattern to conduct a blameless root-cause and cognitive bias audit on this failure:
[Describe initial goal, assumptions, timeline of events and outcome]
Output:
1) **Proximate vs. Root Causes (5 Whys)**;
2) **Cognitive Biases at Play** (e.g., Sunk Cost, Planning Fallacy, Confirmation Bias);
3) **Ignored Early Warning Signals**;
4) **Hard Structural Guardrails**: 3 concrete checklist gates or kill-switch triggers to prevent recurrence (no vague "be more careful" advice).
