Week 11 Case Review: Stress test
Naming a stop-loss condition for your case before you need one, and drafting the standing procedure your Black Swan Protocol falls back on
3 May 2027
Before the session#
Draft a stop-loss condition for your case, specific enough that someone else could check whether it had triggered without asking you.
In the session#
Pairs stress-test each other’s stop-loss: is it actually checkable, or does it quietly depend on the same judgement it’s meant to route around? Then each drafts one Black Swan Protocol step — who to talk to, what to check, what not to decide alone.
Afterwards#
Keep both. The final audit in week 12 asks you to apply the full model to a case, and a stop-loss with no evidence it was ever considered is one of the more common gaps markers flag.
The spec
What you bring to the session. Written so a reader can tell whether it has been met without asking you.
- you can state a specific, checkable stop-loss condition for your case
- you can name one person or step your Black Swan Protocol falls back on if an unanticipated event occurs
