Scenario Planning

Guides what-if thinking to explore counterfactual scenarios, test assumptions, conduct pre-mortem analysis, and stress test decisions against alternative futures.

Analyzes plans via pre-mortem: extracts assumptions across market/execution/customer/competitive/financial/dependency categories, rates confidence and impact, maps high-risk vulnerabilities. Run before resource commitment or presentations.

12-dimension scenario exploration across user-specified domain modes. TRIGGER when: user wants to explore scenarios, edge cases, or what-if analysis; user asks "what could go wrong"; user wants failure mode analysis; user asks about best/worst case outcomes; user wants to stress-test a plan, design, or system; user mentions "scenario analysis" or "scenario planning"; user invokes /autoresearch:scenario. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants a one-shot answer; user wants a simple pros/cons list; user just wants debugging help; user wants iterative optimization.
