plan.transitionWhat it is
- Objective
- Make every reported figure carry the number of accepted outcomes it rests on, refuse to present a single observation as an average, and prove both with cases.
- Why
- Early on there will be very few accepted outcomes, and a mean over one of them looks exactly like a mean over many. The report has to make the difference impossible to miss.
- Now
- The command reports figures from whatever measured, accepted outcomes exist, however few.
- Wanted
- Each figure states its denominator, and below the threshold the output presents observations rather than a summary statistic.
- Done when
- unknown: the record declares no `completion`
- Risk
- Any threshold is arbitrary; declaring it as data and printing it beside the figure is what keeps it honest rather than hidden.
Acceptance
- Every reported figure carries the count of accepted outcomes behind it
- Below the declared threshold the output presents observations and no average
- The threshold is declared as data, not written into the code path
- Cases cover the thin case and the sufficient case
- Validation
bash test/run.sh- Evidence required
suite- Evidence present
