Decision triggers work when they’re tied to objective signals and pre authorized actions. In ops: if NTP drift or an unknown admin login hits, auto rotate keys and swap comms path. At Masters of The Lair we drill these to make execution reflex. What’s your top trigger?

Appreciate that. That’s solid. I love seeing other teams train reflex over reaction. Sounds like your Lair drills run deep. Security collective or red team circle? Objective triggers are the difference between hesitation and reflex. I teach people to drill pre-authorized responses tied to system telemetry, not emotion. For example: Signal: NTP drift beyond 3s Action: auto rekey + swap comms channel Verification: hash check + out-of-band confirm Your example lines up exactly with that doctrine. The real test is whether your system logs prove the trigger fired. What metrics do you use to verify rotation completed cleanly?

I do something similar when my stress gets out of hand. I call it line drawing. If this, then that. I'm done. It kills the stress right away because I already know what will happen if the thing doesnt work out next time. I should pro actively apply similar concepts before the stress ever happens...

Yes, same concept

Reminds me of a documentary that broke down reaction times compared to the physical, neural processing times. It concluded that, mathematically, humans process events before they happen.
