Every exhibit in this building was preceded by the same five words: "What could possibly go wrong?" Every one of them was obvious. Afterward.
Main hall, as it looks on a quiet Tuesday. Click any exhibit for the placard.

Describe a plan. The Hindsight Engine will look at it from a year from now and tell you what the placard will say. It runs entirely in your browser, and it is a joke, not advice.
The engine is warm. It has seen everything. Type a plan and press the button.
Each placard has two sides: what people said beforehand, and what happened. Turn them over.
Ask the docent:
Exit through it, as is traditional. Tell us what you'd buy. Nothing is charged; this tells us what to make.
Wear it to every planning meeting. Nobody will miss the point.
For the one person on every team who saw it coming.
Twelve illustrated exhibits, one per month. Every one of them, obvious in retrospect.

Lifetime Member, Hindsight Society. You read every placard in the building. You now see disasters coming from a great distance, which, as members will tell you, changes nothing, but you get a nicer lanyard.
New exhibits as humanity donates them, new toys, gift-shop drops and other satire from Scallywag Media. Membership is free and, unlike most of our exhibits, easy to cancel.
