Six things and one dimension — how often, how long, how much. Click a thing, click where it goes, and when the order is complete the real figures land beside it. Scored by how many places out you were rather than right or wrong, because a room that is nearly right and a room with a genuinely wrong model both score zero on a tick-box and need completely different conversations. The debrief is not about the total: it names the one thing the room put furthest too high, which is almost always whatever is loud, recent, or personally annoying. Five looks ship with it — the activity’s own, plus a museum, an observatory, a trading floor and a winter market, drawn in the file itself with no images to load.
- Problem
- Teams resource what is available to memory rather than what is frequent. The dramatic failure, the recent complaint and the personally irritating task all feel larger than they are, and nothing in a normal review corrects for it because nobody puts the estimate next to the number.
- Who it helps
- Operations and quality teams reviewing where effort goes, and anyone teaching prioritisation, root cause, or the difference between what is memorable and what is common.
- In training
- Make them commit out loud before anything is revealed — the argument about the order is the activity, and the figures are only the thing that settles it. In teams mode each team places its own order and you can leave the previous one on screen to compare. Finish on the item flagged as furthest too high and ask why it felt bigger. “Because it happened to me last week” is the honest answer and it is the whole point.
- Skills shown
- Displacement scoring rather than binary marking, click-to-assign ranking designed for projector use, availability-bias framing, data-derived truth ordering that cannot drift from the content, in-browser editing with persistent export.
How to edit
- Click Edit this activity in the corner.
- Each item needs a value — the real figure — and a note. The true rank is worked out from the values, so the items can be listed in any order without going out of step.
- High decides which end is rank one: true for “most”, false for “least”.
- Write at least one item everybody puts near the top that belongs near the bottom. That item is the entire debrief.
- Use real figures, or say where they came from. An invented number a room half-believes is worse than no number.
