Deciduous
A web app that simplifies building decision trees to model adverse scenarios. Hosted at https://www.deciduous.app/
It allows you to document your assumptions about how a system, service, app, etc. will respond to adverse events. Its heritage is in helping defenders anticipate attacker behavior and prepare mitigations accordingly, but it also applies to anticipating reliability-related failures, too.
It is especially useful as a foundation to conduct resilience stress testing / chaos experimentation, allowing you to continually refine your mental models of a system with reality. The end goal of using decision trees is to document your beliefs about how failure will unfold across your system in a given scenario, which can inform design improvements to better sustain resilience to that failure.
