The question this asks

Five ways SA fails

Do you know the situation you're in right now? See if any of these belong to you.

FAILURE 01

Pattern match

You've seen this before, so you assume it's the same picture. It isn't.

FAILURE 02

Focal lock

You're disciplined on the named hazard. A quieter one builds in your blind spot.

FAILURE 03

Slow drift

Conditions change a little at a time. You adjust without noticing the total.

FAILURE 04

Confirmation drift

Data arrives that doesn't quite fit. Your model bends to absorb it.

FAILURE 05

Frame shift missed

The situation has changed. Everyone's still operating in the old frame.

One operating day
