# Experiment Designer: a test that can fail, sized before it runs
Experiments fail before they start. The hypothesis has a direction and no mechanism, the metric is chosen after the data arrives, the sample size is a guess, someone peeks on day three, and a "win" ships that quietly hurt retention. This skill writes the decision rule while everyone is still ignorant of the result, and sizes the test from the effect that would change the decision rather than the effect the team hopes for.
