How to turn handwritten incident notes, margins, and scribbles into a powerful system for spotting weak signals of risk and strengthening organizational resilience.
How to design a low‑tech, high‑impact tabletop exercise—using string, chalk, and paper trains—to teach SRE fundamentals, sharpen incident response, and build better reliability playbooks.
How to build a low‑tech, high‑impact “Cardboard Reliability Observatory” that turns your team’s strangest incidents into a physical museum of learning, storytelling, and continuous improvement.
How analog collaboration, unified monitoring, and SRE playbooks help teams spot small ‘paper alerts’ early—before they group into full-blown outages.
How hand‑drawn, paper-based alternate timelines can transform incident reviews into powerful counterfactual story labs—especially for distributed teams handling complex outages.
Why the most powerful incident insights don’t live in dashboards, but in the real-time, human stories unfolding during failures—and how a “balcony” perspective can transform reliability, safety, and system health.
How an “analog incident tideclock” and hand-marked reliability ritual can help teams spot small stability drifts early—before they compound into major outages—by blending human-centered practices with modern SRE and AI-powered prediction.
How an “analog outage story cart” and AI-assisted tooling can turn your real production incidents into a rolling workshop for better reliability, faster response, and scalable learning across your team.
How to turn production incidents and failures into a browsable, physical card catalog that your team actually uses to learn, spot patterns, and improve systems over time.
How narrative incident stories, tabletop simulations, and human-centered reliability practices help teams sense where reliability tension is building—before systems fail.
