How to read a verdict.

The four words, the one-missed-bar rule, and the floor under which a bar does not pass or fail.

Four words

Cleared  when the whole 95% interval sits at or above the bar you set.

Not cleared  when the whole interval sits below the bar.

Too close to call  when the interval straddles the bar.

Not enough responses  when fewer than ten answers are in. That is not a result.

One missed bar

The overall verdict takes the hardest result among the bars you turned on. A bar you left off is not tested — it cannot carry the study and it cannot sink it. One “not cleared” sinks it. One “too close to call,” with nothing worse, leaves it too close. “Cleared” means every bar you set has cleared.

Winning the pick is not enough. In the example report, the new label cleared head to head and missed price. The study is not cleared.

Under ten

Confidence is 95%, fixed by Dough. You set the bars. You never set the confidence. Under ten completed answers, a concept bar reads “not enough responses.” Everyday competition on a claimed product waits until the choices are thick enough to be a pattern.
