The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at the Trope Launch Pad.

If it's just like "I'm a scientist and have never heard of any kind of preliminary testing," it might be in the spirit of Professor Guinea Pig.

Your example sounds possibly more like Unfinished, Untested, Used Anyway. I'm not familiar with Silo, but if there's wastelands and airborne toxins everywhere, and society has suffered total breakdown, there may not be a good way to test it (i.e. Justified Trope).

Unfinished, Untested, Used Anyway sounds like something that covers both of them and actually works out, will just need some extra elaboration. And Juliette was planning to be Professor Guinea Pig of her own suit, so it kinda works for her, too.

Thanks!
