showPremortem

Show a pre-mortem analysis — imagine the decision has already failed (Gary Klein's technique), then work backward to what caused it. Use for a genuinely consequential decision or plan where the user would benefit from surfacing risks before committing (a career move, a launch, a big purchase) — not for trivial choices. Distinct from showProsCons: this isn't weighing factors for/against, it's simulating ONE concrete failure story and mining it for warning signs and mitigations. For a genuinely major decision, call it in the same turn as showProsCons (weigh it, then stress-test it); don't force both for anything smaller. Provide `failureScenario` (a specific, concrete story of how and why this failed — not vague, a real narrative with a rough timeframe, e.g. '18 months in, the startup runs out of funding...'), `missedSignals` (an array of the warning signs that, in that story, were visible but ignored), and `preventativeMeasures` (an array of concrete actions to take now that would prevent or catch that specific failure) — keep the three genuinely connected: each signal should plausibly have foreshadowed the scenario, and each measure should plausibly address one of the signals, not just be generic advice.
