Outpaced
Thirteen ways to lose a deployment.
You run the AI deployment. You make the calls. The game models the structural conditions that turn competent organizations into case studies.
Run a deployment. Face the structure.
You are inside a competent organization running an AI deployment. The technology works. Your team is capable. The oversight is on paper.
Every decision you make shifts the structural conditions around the system. The thirteen failure modes emerge from those conditions, not from error or bad intent. The same way they do in real deployments.
Use it with your team before something ships.
The same thirteen failure patterns are documented in real-world cases across industries. Outpaced runs them as interactive scenarios so teams can recognize the conditions before they appear operationally.
Run it as a team exercise before a deployment review. Use it to test your organization against the patterns it is most exposed to. Same framework as the book and the SAFEMACHINE diagnostic app.
Each mode is a structural pattern in the game. Each one maps to a documented real-world case. The scenarios are drawn from the book.
The game runs the same thirteen patterns as the book.
Every scenario in Outpaced draws from a documented real-world case. The Dutch childcare scandal. Tesla Autopilot. The COMPAS sentencing algorithm. Clearview AI. CrowdStrike. Different industries. The same underlying structure.
The book is the field guide. The SAFEMACHINE app is the organizational diagnostic. Outpaced is the simulation, for when you want to run the patterns rather than read them.

One list. No schedule. When there is something real to say, you get it.
