1. postmortem

   A postmortem, in general, refers to an examination or analysis conducted after the completion of an event, project, or situation - or following a person's death - to evaluate its success, failures, and to learn from it for future endeavors. This could involve a literal medical examination of a deceased person's body (autopsy), or it could be a figurative examination, such as in business where teams evaluate the results of a completed project.

Examples of postmortem in a Sentence

1. Joe Gamaldi:

   When you do a postmortem on what happened in Austin, I think it's important to recognize that the mayor and city council there have basically been giving the finger to the hardworking men and women of law enforcement in the Austin Police Department for quite some time, and what they did is they scared the public. They told them we're going to cut services across the board to try to fund public safety, but what the public should really be scared of is the fact that the murder rate is up 88% in Austin. Austin was once a mecca for the arts and music, and now it's a dangerous community and nobody even wants to walk through with their families.

2. Greg Treverton:
