Where the situation is tense and, author magic hand-wave, poof, it’s fixed without showing the resolution.
Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn’t.
Checks for emotions matching the actions
Random llama checks

“Where’d it go?” checks
The case of the missing dog/best friend/side character/etc.
Constructive commentary on parts that work exceptionally well, and parts that don’t work at all, and why.
Ideas on how to fix the issues we found.
