Blameless template
Summary, Timeline, Root Cause, What went well, What didn't, Where we got lucky. No finger-pointing fields — the template is designed to surface mechanism, not blame.
A blameless incident postmortem tool with the classic template (Summary, Timeline, Root Cause, What went well / didn't / got lucky), action items with due dates, and recurrence detection that surfaces when a new incident looks like an old one — so you stop fixing the same thing twice.
Recurrence detection built in. Every postmortem's root cause is embedded and compared against past incidents. When a new one looks familiar, Standard Postmortem says so — and links them.

Standard Postmortem is a blameless postmortem tool with the classic template — Summary, Timeline, Root Cause, What went well, What didn't, Where we got lucky — plus action items with due dates and recurrence detection. Intake flows in from Standard Hook (failed webhooks), Standard Status (failed pipelines/deploys), Suite Pulse (blocker keywords), and Slack (/postmortem create). Every root cause is embedded via text-embedding-3-small and compared against past incidents with pgvector cosine similarity, so when a new incident looks like an old one, you get a suggestion to link them — and the recurrence graph makes patterns visible.
Summary, Timeline, Root Cause, What went well, What didn't, Where we got lucky. No finger-pointing fields — the template is designed to surface mechanism, not blame.
Attach concrete, owned, dated follow-ups to every postmortem. Mark them complete as they ship. Open items surface on the dashboard.
Root-cause text is embedded and compared across incidents. Similar pairs are surfaced as suggestions on the editor and visualized in the recurrence graph.
Failed webhook in Standard Hook → 'Create postmortem' button. Failed pipeline in Standard Status → deep link. Blocker keyword in Suite Pulse → suggestion. Slack slash command for quick capture.
Add timestamped entries as the incident unfolds. The timeline is the backbone of the postmortem — alerts, diagnosis, mitigation, resolution.
Link a postmortem to the Standard Status incident that triggered it, or the Standard Hook event that surfaced it — one click back to the source.
