As a teacher, I’ve generally found it to be the case that specific positive feedback (“keep doing this!”) is the most useful way of improving someone’s performance, followed by specific advice (“you could achieve X if you tried Y”, “why not experiment with Z and see if it helps?”).
If this were focused on red-teaming a particular project, it sounds more useful, but I don’t understand why it would be described as a doom circle then!
Thanks! Doom Circles are a specific format that CFAR came up with years ago. I didn’t mean to suggest that this is the best format or the best way of giving feedback. But it is one that I’ve found useful sometimes and I wanted a link to use as a reference :)
I’m working with a colleague on a format that is closer to a combination of this and red-teaming a particular project. If it goes well I might post about that as well (I needed a link to Doom Circles for an email about the new format, which is what prompted this post).

Makes sense, it’s always nice to have a reference to link to
