Test Card
Purposedifferent
The Learning Card connects traceable test results to a reasoned next action while keeping the limits of the insight visible.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.For a single, hard-to-explain deviation, the method exposes the causal chain behind the visible symptom. It keeps the cause open until a controllable condition emerges instead of a mere description.The Test Card turns a critical assumption into a testable claim and specifies in advance which result counts as success.
