NM-1 — Near-Miss Capture

Control Type: Learning loop
Status: Coming soon
Intent: Turn almost-failures into system improvement


Purpose

NM-1 captures near-misses—situations where harm almost occurred—before memory fades or normalization sets in.

It treats near-misses as assets, not embarrassments.


Use When

  • a bad outcome was narrowly avoided
  • an escalation felt late but worked
  • a Stop Ladder tier nearly failed
  • a decision “worked” but felt unsafe

What This Control Will Require

  • one-minute structured log
  • pressure tags (HPC-1)
  • what stopped harm
  • what nearly failed

Output

  • Near-miss record
  • Pattern signals for future prevention
