What it does
Many plans are never tested because testing costs money. But some flaws show up sooner if you picture the plan in a concrete scene and ask what each person in it would see. Differences that have no cause, or parts with no job, often hide there. This skill writes the scene with named people and objects, lists what each could observe, and pairs up cases the plan treats differently. For each pair it asks for a check that would tell them apart, and merges the pair if there is none. It then runs the full design through a normal use and the worst case, and ends with a check that could prove the idea wrong.
You give it
- The plan, design or belief, in plain words
