I'm a fan of the exit review. Something that is no longer being used (for any reason) and there is now perspective. I first saw bunnie do it at https://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?p=242 quoting the first two paragraphs:
> I think it’s time to start a new kind of gadget review: the exit review.
> Gadgets always seem to arrive on the scene with a lot of splash and hype, but rarely do you find an article telling you how the gadget fared in Real Life. The Exit Review is something I’m going to try doing every time I retire a major gadget of mine; the idea of it is to reflect upon how the gadget performed over its duration of service. Of course, reviews like this are all hindsight, so they don’t drive sales — which probably explains why nobody does them, because there’s no money to be made doing them. However, as a design engineer I think there are lessons to be learned through reflection, and as a consumer I believe that apples don’t fall to far from the tree — a good gadget maker will get my business again, and a bad one will never see another dime from me.
