# /silver:blast-radius — Blast Radius Assessment
Performs a structured pre-change risk analysis before any infrastructure or
DevOps change proceeds to quality gates or planning. Every field must be filled.
Vague answers ("unknown", "TBD") are not acceptable — investigate until concrete.

## Step 1: Map the change scope
List every resource this change will touch:
| Resource | Action | Environment |
|----------|--------|-------------|
| (e.g. `k8s/deployment/api`) | CREATE / MODIFY / DELETE | dev / staging / prod |
Include:
- IaC resources (Terraform state entries, Helm releases, k8s manifests)
- CI/CD pipeline definitions (GitHub Actions workflows, Jenkinsfiles)
- Secrets and config maps
- DNS, load balancer, and networking rules
- IAM roles and policies
- Monitoring, alerting, and logging configuration
---
## Step 2: Map downstream dependencies
For each resource being modified or deleted, list what depends on it:
| Resource changed | Downstream dependents | Coupling type |
|------------------|-----------------------|---------------|
| (resource name) | (services/systems that use it) | Hard / Soft / None |
**Coupling types**:
- **Hard** — dependent fails or degrades immediately if this resource changes
- **Soft** — dependent degrades gracefully or eventually (retry logic, cache, fallback)
- **None** — no runtime dependency
---
## Step 3: Enumerate failure scenarios
For each resource with Hard or Soft coupling, describe what breaks:
| Resource | Failure mode |
