Alternative to “autopsy” for software

We’re developing a software feature that allows the user to examine the result of a series of rules after those rules are executed. We’ve tentatively called this feature running an “autopsy”. Unfortunately, the word autopsy has negative connotations in its primary definition. We realize a secondary definition (“A critical assessment or examination after the fact.”) expresses exactly what the feature does but the negative connotations are inescapable.

We’re looking for an alternative to autopsy for naming this feature. Synonyms such as checkup, inspection, review, or examination don’t seem to capture the spirit.
