    Run an incident-learning session with your team

    Put this on the projector. The group makes the engineers' real decisions, sees what a simplified model does with them, then compares them with the official record. Nothing is saved or sent; reloading clears the session.

    Pick a scenario

    • 1996

      Ariane 5 Flight 501

      2 decisions · ESA/CNES Inquiry Board report, 19 July 1996

    • 2012

      Knight Capital, 1 August

      3 decisions before the open, 1 during it · U.S. SEC order, Exchange Act Release No. 70694, 16 October 2013

    Suggested 25-minute agenda

    1. Read the briefing aloud.
    2. Each decision: discuss, take a show of hands, record the choice.
    3. Run the model on the group's choices.
    4. Debrief: compare with the record, work through the questions.
    5. Print or save the one-page summary; note actions.
    Discussion timer for each decision

    The timer is optional: start it, pause it or skip it at each decision.

    What the room sees

    Ariane 5 Flight 501, decision 1 of 2: which conversions get overflow protection. A table of Ariane 4 peaks and protection costs, a question to discuss, and four options, each with an empty box for the show of hands.
    Each decision: the evidence, a question to discuss and the options, with a box for each show of hands.
    Ariane 5 debrief from an example run. Both of the group's choices match the record. The illustrative model still reaches an overflow on BH; the record says Flight 501 broke up 39 seconds after lift-off.
    Debrief from an example run: the group's choices beside the record, and the model's outcome beside what happened.
