One question tells you whether you need this.

What happens in the first hour? If the answer takes more than a sentence, that is the exercise.

Exercises are scoped in a 30-minute call and scheduled four to six weeks out. Design work begins from documents you already have — your incident response plan, your escalation matrix, your runbooks. Nothing new has to be written before we start.

Tell us who would be in the room and what you are worried about, and we will tell you whether an exercise is the right instrument.
