You probably know it.

1999

NASA lost the Mars Climate Orbiter.

One team supplied data in English units.

The other expected metric.

The spacecraft travelled for nine months before the mistake became everybody’s problem.

That is a very long journey to discover you needed one awkward conversation.

Now, I’m not suggesting you’re about to lose a spacecraft.

Your project or your job has its own ways of making you miserable.

You sit in a meeting.

Someone says, “The contractor has accepted that risk.”

You want to ask: “Accepted it where? In the contract? In the price? In their imagination?”

But everyone is nodding.

So, you nod too.

Guilty.

Cómplice.

Three years later, the claim arrives.

Wonderful feeling, isn’t it?

And it happens as often as electing the wrong guys to run a country…

That is why I created The Room.

Real PPP cases.

The decisions behind them.

The mistakes people made.

And the questions you can take into your next meeting instead of another beautifully formatted set of notes.

Because your career is rarely damaged by the question you asked.

It’s damaged by the question you didn’t ask before putting your name on the paper.

Join The Room, now.

The price goes up on Monday… again.

Unlike the Mars Climate Orbiter, you still have time to correct your trajectory.

Use this information at your own risk.

​The Room.
