Pre-mortems are on the sureops roadmap: AI-generated risk assessments for open pull requests, reviewed against your service catalog, runbooks, and incident history before a change ships to production.

​
What a pre-mortem will do

A pre-mortem is the opposite of a post-mortem: instead of asking “what went wrong?” after an incident, it asks “what could go wrong?” before a deployment. The plan is for sureops to generate one for each PR that touches services in your environment, producing:
  • Predicted failure modes — each with a one-line description and a blast radius of affected services, informed by your service catalog, runbooks, and past incidents whose root causes resemble patterns in the diff
  • Suggested mitigations — concrete pre-merge actions for the higher-likelihood failure modes
  • An overall risk score (0–10) for the PR as a whole
  • An overall confidence score (0–100), so reviewers can calibrate how much to trust the doc
There is no separate proceed / proceed-with-caution / escalate verdict — the risk score and failure modes are what a reviewer would act on. Merging always stays your team’s decision, and sureops would never block a PR from merging.

Availability

Coming within Growth. Pre-mortems are not yet available on any sureops plan. The sidebar does have a Pre-mortems link, and visiting it renders a page — but it’s a dimmed roadmap placeholder (a “Track on roadmap” / “Notify me” call-to-action) rather than a working feature, and there’s no High-Risk PRs widget on the Command Center and no pre-mortem data to review today. See Pricing & tiers for the current roadmap and plan-by-plan availability, and Connect your stack for the GitHub integration this feature will depend on once it ships.
