Blameless post-mortem: a structured engineering discipline
Blameless post-mortem: a structured engineering discipline for analyzing system failures that reconstructs what happened, identifies contributing causes, and produces action items without attributing blame to any individual
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely identifies 'blameless post-mortem' by its genus (structured engineering discipline), differentia (reconstruction, cause identification, action items), and key characteristic (no individual blame attribution). It establishes the precise boundary of what constitutes this specific analytical practice rather than general error analysis.
