Mitigation Design Strategy

Design countermeasures for high-priority failure modes across three layers: prevention, detection, response.

Method

1. mitigation-design-sop generates countermeasures for each H-priority failure:
   • Prevention: eliminate or reduce occurrence
   • Detection: improve ability to detect before impact
   • Response: contingency plan if failure occurs
2. re-scoring re-evaluates S/O/D with mitigations in place
3. mitigation-validation runs mini-FMEA on mitigations themselves
4. Iterate until all H-priority items reach M or L after mitigation

Budget Table

Parameter	S	M	L
Mitigations per failure mode	1	2	3
Re-scoring rounds	1	2	3
Mitigation validation depth	shallow	standard	full FMEA

Orchestration

[H-priority failures] → mitigation-design-sop
  → re-scoring → action-priority-matrix (re-classify)
  → [still H?] → mitigation-validation → iterate
  → [M or L?] → accept, document residual risk

Subagents

• mitigation-design-sop (countermeasure generation)
• re-scoring (post-mitigation S/O/D)
• action-priority-matrix (re-classification)

Available Tactics

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

Tactic	When to use
mitigation-validation	Tactic: Run mini-FMEA on proposed mitigations to verify they do not introduce new failure modes. Prevents mitigation-induced risks.

Available SOPs

Optional, no fixed order; the final leaf is always a sop.

SOP	When to use
action-priority-matrix	Compute Risk Priority Number (RPN = S x O x D), classify failure modes into H/M/L action priority per AIAG-VDA tables.
mitigation-design-sop	Design prevention, detection, and response measures for high-priority failure modes. Produces actionable countermeasure specifications.
re-scoring	Re-evaluate S/O/D scores after mitigation measures are in place. Validates that mitigations actually reduce risk as expected.
