Draft a blameless postmortem from my incident notes.

Incident: [ONE-LINE SUMMARY]
Severity/duration: [SEV LEVEL, START–END TIMES WITH TIMEZONE]
My raw notes/timeline:
[PASTE THE TIMELINE, MESSY IS FINE]

Write:
1. Summary (3 sentences: what happened, impact, resolution).
2. Timeline table: time | event | who/what.
3. Root cause, distinguish the trigger from the systemic cause. Be honest about what we didn't know.
4. What went well / what went poorly (blameless language: talk about systems and processes, never people).
5. Action items: each with an owner role, a deadline shape (this week / this month / this quarter), and how we'll know it's done.

Then ask me the 5 questions whose answers would most improve this draft (detection time, customer impact numbers, etc.). Do not invent facts, mark gaps [NEED INPUT].

Paste it into Muse or any assistant. Blank fields stay as [brackets].
