Most teams analyze decisions after something fails. Post-mortems happen when a project collapses or a strategy misses the mark. But by then it's already too late. Devil’s Advocate flips that idea. Instead of waiting for failure, it helps you run a quick pre-mortem before committing to a decision. It asks uncomfortable questions that surface blind spots, weak assumptions, and hidden risks, so you can pressure test your thinking before moving forward.
Hi Folks! Earlier in my career I avoided playing devil’s advocate. It felt negative and like it slowed things down. But over time I noticed something: the decisions that failed weren’t the ones we challenged too much, they were the ones we didn’t challenge at all.
So I started running simple pre-mortems before committing to ideas, asking things like “If this fails in six months, what probably went wrong?”
Devil’s Advocate came from that habit. Just a simple way to pressure test thinking before moving forward.
Curious how others here stress test decisions.
