Blameless postmortem

An incident review focused on **systems and process fixes**, not punishing individuals for mistakes.

#When to use

After production AI outages, data leaks, or repeated alert fatigue.

Performance reviews disguised as postmortems — that silences honest timelines.

Document how a missing eval gate allowed a bad deploy — action item adds CI check, not a write-up on one engineer.
