Topic summary
Choosing which test to pay for, given a fixed budget — does this still hold?
This is a generated summary. It shows the 6 most-liked posts from a topic of 40, in their original order, with the accepted answer included where one exists. It is a reading aid and it will miss nuance — the full topic is the record.
Worth separating two things that post #5 runs together.
Repeat determination on the same product line months apart is the measurement that speaks to consistency, and consistency is what most buyers actually want.

Answering the question post #38 raises rather than the one it answers.
It does not extend to lots nobody has seen, it is not a recommendation, and it says nothing about anything other than what was measured.
It is the sort of thing that seems obvious in retrospect and was not at the time.
