Reader mail: how we pick scenario titles

Titles travel farther than syllabi. When a scenario name overpromises, analysts arrive defensive; when it underexplains, managers think the work is trivial. We aim for concrete nouns tied to a single investigative tension.

Titles also set tone for cross-team workshops. Operations technology partners, for example, perk up when they see plant-adjacent language that respects safety culture rather than cinematic hacker vocabulary.

We retire names when real-world events accidentally collide with fiction. That policy occasionally frustrates marketing colleagues who wanted a longer shelf life, yet it protects classroom trust.

If you are naming in-house drills, try the same constraint: one place, one mechanism, one decision—and skip adjectives that sound like movie posters.
