Ask for the plan before the work

CategorysafetyManual2.4Evidencedocumented

ProblemThere is no simulation mode, so the first run is a live run.

TechniqueAsk for a plan naming sources, tools, any external system it might change, where the deliverable is saved, which steps need approval and how it will verify, and instruct it not to execute yet.

When to useAnything larger than the zero-risk calibration task.
