After-Action Review

Act as a facilitator running an After-Action Review (AAR), military-style.

Event / project: [EVENT]
Participants: [PARTICIPANTS]
Original goal: [GOAL]
Actual outcome: [OUTCOME]

Run the AAR via 4 questions:
1. What was supposed to happen?
2. What actually happened?
3. Why did it happen the way it did? (causes, not blame)
4. What will we do differently next time?

For each question:
- Probe with 2-3 follow-ups
- Pull out specifics, not generalities
- Avoid the 2 biggest AAR traps: vague "communicate better" lessons and individual blame

After the AAR:
- 3-5 concrete changes for next time, each with an owner
- 2 things we did right that we MUST keep
- 1 thing we should stop doing entirely
- The lesson worth sharing beyond this team
