Keep the loop small

An evidence loop has four parts: the belief, the test, the observation, and the decision. If any part is missing, teams tend to repeat work or reinterpret results after the fact.

Review decisions, not dashboards

A useful weekly review asks what changed, what remains uncertain, and what deserves focus next. Metrics support this conversation; they should not replace it.
