I think I'm going to start testing this with the TPMs and Engineers I work with. I'm going to ask a more senior TPM on my team to think about this and how it should be incorporated into our specs. My hypothesis is our engineers would be happier knowing about the risk profile of whatever failure modes we've id'ed, and they can design accordingly. That said, I don't really work on high risk software, so this is all relative. Most of our stuff is in the "push the button again" category if it dies.
