A contract for intelligent failure
- The effort involves genuine uncertainty
- The outcome will be decisive because we planned carefully
- It’s riskier to do nothing - or to conduct further analysis – than to act and fail
- The cost is small
- The underlying assumptions are documented in writing
- There is a plan to test the assumptions
- The risks of failing are understood and to the extent possible, mitigated
- The cost is contained
- Commitments are scaled according to our increasing understanding
- We’ve defined what success would look like – and the opportunity is significant
