## Step 1: Plan specificity check Your plan is already specific enough. Moving directly to Step 2. ## Step 2: The failure is already true It's three months from now, and this plan failed. The automated weekly report stopped being delivered at some point. Nobody noticed for several weeks. Why? ## Step 3: Three causes from different angles 1. Technical: The API key is tied to your personal Salesforce login. Your password expires or the key rotates. The script fails silently with no alerting. 2. People: You're the only person who's touched this script, and you're on vacation the week after launch. No documentation means no one else can debug it. 3. Drift: The email list is hardcoded. Three months in, someone leaves the leadership team and the report still goes to their old address, bouncing silently. ## Step 4: Test each cause All three: yes, I'd change the plan right now. Dedicated service-account API key, not a personal login. Retry logic and failure alerting. A README and a 15-minute handoff to a second person. Email list moved to a config file instead of hardcoded. ## Step 5: Revised plan Dedicated Salesforce service account. Retry logic with alerting on failure. Recipient list in a config file. A short README covering schedule, credentials location, and how to test manually. A quick handoff before vacation. ## Step 6: What I decided not to fix - Automated schema-change detection — schema changes rarely, manual quarterly review is enough for now. Ready to build once the service-account key and alerting are in place — not before.
