Opening Day Time Capsule
Simulated visitors from each market predict the complaints; opening week grades them.
The job
Predicts what visitors from each source market will say about a new attraction, hotel or season before it opens, based on their real reviews of comparable places. Fixes what the predictions flag, and grades them honestly at opening.
The moment
Before a new park opens, the app writes letters from simulated visitors from each source market, based on real reviews of comparable places. The letters are sealed in June so they can't be changed.
At opening, the letters are opened. One simulated family had warned that "the coaster queue was in full sun and my daughter cried", citing 40 reviews of two comparable parks.
That warning is marked prevented, because shade was installed. The family's other warning, no Mandarin on the menu, is marked as having come true.
The CEO's own prediction scores 1 of 3, below the simulated visitors.
