Blind banding · large air tanker

Read the full mission, set the arrow where you feel it falls — first pass is yours alone

23 missions, two sections. Every factor is on the card — each crew member broken out, then aircraft, airport, and fire. No scores.
Standout values carry a neutral mark so nothing gets missed — same mark whatever the level, so it flags attention without giving away the band. The band is your call. On each card, up to three values can be tapped to record the top risk drivers for that day.
A comparison layer with Jonas's placements and a short findings report unlocks automatically after you have placed all 23 missions. Your first-pass arrows are saved untouched at that moment — place them as YOUR read, not a guess at his.
