Case Study #003: A tale of woe and acorns.
Client: Acorn Industries Inc.
Project Lead: Jane D. Squirrel
Awarded a 4.5/5 acorn rating, this project was plagued by:
- Unforeseen squirrelly behavior
- Uncooperative parkour-trained security guards
- A 2-week delay in delivering the requisite 17,000 acorns
Project Goals:
Design and implementation of a Squirrel Repellent System (SRS) capable of:
- Deterrent-based squirrel dissuasion
- Intimidation-based squirrel dissuasion
- Non-lethal squirrel neutralization
Key Features:
Our SRS utilized:
- High-contrast color schemes
- Aggressive sound design
- Intimidating, yet non-threatening, visual stimuli
Results:
Client reported a 90% reduction in squirrel-related property damage
However, the system was criticized for its:
- Unintuitive control panel interface
- Lack of customization options
- Uncomfortable, industrial-grade acorn-dispensing mechanism
