Survivorship Bias

Activate when: user says 'look at what winners/billionaires/champions did,' investment returns or fund performance are being cited, a strategy is justified by pointing to companies that succeeded, historical data is treated as representative of all cases, or someone says 'this works because X did it.' Do NOT activate when: population data is available and already selection-corrected; analysis is explicitly about survivors only with no claim about the broader population.
