Systems Thinking
Evaporating Cloud
Purposedifferent
When experiments become unreadable after the fact, it arranges hypothesis, signal, and learning goal on a single canvas. It separates problem, assumption, solution, and evidence. The result is captured as a Completed Experiment Canvas and a Success Metric.The method makes visible why two seemingly incompatible demands arise and which assumption must be tested to resolve the conflict.
