  Pre-mortem requires a concrete plan as its input — the technique works backward from an already-completed plan to identify failure causes. Remove planning (the practice of creating structured plans) and pre-mortem ceases to operate: it has no material to work on. The removal test passes: without plans, the technique is inoperable, not merely empty.
