Premortem — Fail Your Project Before You Start It

An MCP app on the Model Context Protocol built by Code Starters at the Amrita University Amritapuri campus NitroStack × MCP To The Moon hackathon and deployed on NitroStack.

About this project

Describe your project, and PreMortem writes a short story of how it fails six months from now — then works backward from that failure to give you a ranked list of real risks and what to do about each one. It's based on a proven decision-science trick: imagining failure before you start catches risks that normal brainstorming misses, because it gets past overconfidence. Instead of a boring checklist, you get a vivid "obituary" for your project, a risk radar, and concrete fixes — so you can defuse the real problems before they happen.
