What you'll learn from The Design Review
This scenario focuses on Systemic failure investigation — a critical skill inside the broader history domain. You'll face a decision where the instinctive response is often the wrong one. After you make your choice, you'll see exactly what happened in the other person's head and why it mattered. The scenario is part of The Fire, a full interactive story inside the The Space Race quest.

More scenarios in this quest
The capsule is burning. Three astronauts are inside. Apollo 1 is a disaster that nearly ends the dream — and you're navigating the aftermath that determines whether the program survives its darkest hour.
What started with the fire just got more complicated. Now you need to communicate technical reality to non-technical decision-makers under pressure — and the situation is shifting faster than your first approach can handle.
You've faced the hardest part. Now turn what you've learned into something sustainable — a way to communicate technical reality to non-technical decision-makers under pressure not just today, but every time this situation returns.
