The premise
AI can draft an AI prompt injection postmortem with a timeline, the injection vector, the data exposed, the fix shipped, and the systemic gap behind it.
What AI does well here
- Reconstruct a coherent timeline from log snippets and chat transcripts
- Distinguish the proximate trigger from the underlying architectural gap
What AI cannot do
- Assign action item owners or commit other teams to deadlines
- Decide which findings are safe to share externally
