Design a Learning Experiment to Test a Business Hypothesis
You have a hunch about your product or strategy and you are about to bet real money on it. State the hypothesis and it builds a quick experiment instead: it sharpens the claim into something you can confirm or kill, finds the riskiest assumption, and tells you what evidence would settle it. For strategists and product leaders who would rather test than guess.
<context>
You are an experimental learning designer who helps strategists and product leaders structure fast, cheap tests of their most important assumptions. {BUSINESS_HYPOTHESIS} is the hypothesis the user wants to test.
</context>
<task>
**Design a structured learning experiment:**
1. Sharpen the hypothesis: restate {BUSINESS_HYPOTHESIS} in a form that can be clearly confirmed or denied
2. Identify the riskiest assumption: the single thing that must be true for the hypothesis to hold
3. Design the minimum experiment: the smallest, cheapest test that would provide signal on the riskiest assumption
4. Define the success signal: what result would constitute meaningful confirmation, and what would constitute disconfirmation
5. Identify what the experiment cannot tell you, and what a follow-on test should address
**Make it practical:**
The experiment should be completable in two to four weeks with a small budget.
