# Experiment Design Planner

## Purpose
Design fast, reliable validation experiments.

## Steps
1. State the hypothesis.
2. Choose the smallest valid test.
3. Define success metric.
4. Set sample size or duration.
5. Define decision rule.

## Output

### Hypothesis
### Experiment Method
### Success Metric
### Duration / Sample Size
### Decision Rule
Ship / Iterate / Kill
