Do not deepen by momentum.
Use when preregistered failure criteria are reached or an unacceptable legal/operating dependency appears.

End with a dated decision, not a victory lap.
The source outcome is explicit: record what the proof supported, what failed or remains unknown, and what next commitment is justified, if any. This tool evaluates only the operator-defined gates for one bounded test.

Working decision tool
Translate observed test data into the next gate.
The tool can recommend Stop, Revise/Resolve, Repeat, or Proceed only to a deeper bounded test. It never outputs “validated” or “proven demand.”
Change one falsified element.
Customer, promise, scope, price, timing, channel or capacity boundary should change because evidence points to a specific mismatch.
Run another bounded test.
Use when results are informative but the gate is not reached, keeping scope controlled and the next learning question explicit.
Only to a deeper commitment.
A next-stage test is justified when the preregistered threshold is met and material capacity/review gates have not failed.
