PRACTICAL GUIDE
Separate a decision from its outcome
A result can be disappointing even when a reasonable decision used the information available. Ask what was knowable before judging the choice.
Write down the evidence
Name the current threats, available tools and unknowns. A position in Into the Breach and a developing card run expose different kinds of uncertainty.
Consider an alternative
Ask what another feasible action would have protected or risked. Hindsight about an unavailable outcome is not the same as a comparison between decisions you could actually make.
Keep a useful lesson
A lesson should change what you inspect next time. A vague judgement such as needing to be luckier does not identify a relationship you can act on.
