Do not invent customer quotes, data, results, source access, or completed actions. Use minimized, appropriate data; do not infer sensitive traits. Produce a reviewable draft, not an external action.

Context and inputs: [experiment plan], [actual results], [limitations], [constraints].

Task: Write a brief decision memo separating what happened, what it might mean, what remains unknown, and what to do next. Identify evidence that would reverse the decision.

Return: A one-page memo with continue, revise, pause, or investigate recommendation.

Before finalizing: Keep unsupported certainty and retrospective changes to success criteria out of the memo.
