The Fastest Way to Catch a Bad Assumption Before It Becomes a Bad Decision
A simple, field-tested worksheet your crew can use before any job to surface blind spots, slow the mind down, and stop routine-day drift at the source.
Don’t miss this.
The Assumption Audit Worksheet is one of those tools crews use once and immediately see what they were carrying into the job without realizing it.

Assumptions don’t announce themselves.
They don’t feel dangerous.
They feel normal.
Familiar.
Automatic.
That is why they are risky.
Assumptions sneak in when the work looks easy.
When yesterday went fine.
When everything “seems the same.”
That is where drift starts.
That is where overconfidence takes root.
That is where close calls begin long before anyone notices.
Your crew deserves a fast way to surface these blind spots before they step into the work.
This worksheet makes that happen.
Grab the ChecklistWhat This Worksheet Helps You See
This tool gives your crew a quick, honest pre-job reset that surfaces the things most people skip:
âś” The assumptions each worker is carrying into the job
✔ The parts of the task they “think” they know
âś” Gaps between memory and procedure
✔ Overconfidence based on yesterday’s outcome
âś” Pressure, rushing, or personal distraction
âś” Conditions that are different from the last time
âś” Blind spots each person must acknowledge before starting
It takes a minute.
But it reveals a lot.
Why I Made This
On October 19th, 2015, I stepped into a routine job carrying assumptions I didn’t even recognize.
Nothing looked wrong.
Nothing felt off.
I trusted what felt familiar.
And that assumption almost cost me my life.
That day changed how I look at the start of every job.
It taught me that drift begins long before any tool hits the line.
It taught me that assumptions drive decisions.
And it shaped the way I teach crews today.
I built this worksheet because I wish we had something this simple back then.
A tool to slow us down.
A tool to expose what we were bringing into the work.
A tool to catch the things we didn’t see.
Use it. Share it. Make it part of your crew’s pre-job rhythm.
