How to build a repeatable, low-tech “paper streetcar” ritual that exercises your system’s strangest edge cases, exposes hidden failure modes, and permanently upgrades your incident readiness and system design.
How low-tech, analog visualization can help you tame alert noise, surface weak signals, and build a more reliable early-warning system for incidents.
How to build a year-round, seasonal paper practice for noticing slow-motion reliability incidents, learning from them, and aligning those lessons with real-world standards like ISO 27001 and SOC 2.
How simple, hand‑drawn risk maps and visual near‑miss stories can surface weak signals, strengthen safety culture, and prevent organizational accidents before they fully emerge.
How modern near-miss reporting, incident response platforms, and disciplined workflows turn “analog incidents” into early warnings instead of full-blown outages.
From clay tablets to VR headsets, our stories are carried by materials, bodies, and machines. This post explores how analog “paper signals” and digital simulations shape what we learn, feel, and trust—before reliability breaks down.
How hand-drawn system sketches, socio-technical modeling, and NIST CSF 2.0-aligned incident planning can transform chaotic security incidents into predictable, manageable events.
How automated incident timelines, thoughtful postmortems, and reliability engineering practices can turn every near-miss into a smarter ‘story lantern’—a growing archive of paper warnings that makes complex systems safer over time.
How a low‑tech puppet stage with paper characters can help engineering teams safely reenact outages, expose hidden roles and communication paths, and explore rare failure modes without touching production systems.
How to mine your dusty archive of past incidents like a forensic analyst, turn outages into structured case studies, and continuously upgrade your runbooks and resilience strategy.
