What stays consistent
Different business questions. The same evidence boundary.
Each live study freezes scope, collects or imports platform-native signals, reviews relevance and counterexamples, then recommends a bounded next test.
Public or authorized signals with source, time, and visible context.
Relevance, opened sources, representative comments, and counterevidence.
A direct answer, evidence limits, and the smallest useful next test.
