From a model of resilience to incident reasoning

Cook gives a conceptual starting point for readers new to thinking about operations as an adaptive system. Cantrill’s production-debugging account supplies a more concrete engineering setting. Use the pair to identify safeguards, recovery paths and missing feedback. The goal is not to predict every mistake; it is to make an unexpected action easier to detect, contain and recover from.
