# Experiment Priority Assumption Register

## Inputs
Experiment hypotheses, success metrics, time horizon, reach evidence, impact scale, confidence basis, effort estimates and constraints.

## Workflow
1. Confirm a shared reach horizon and impact scale. Mark unsupported reach or confidence estimates as assumptions and retain their source.
2. Calculate RICE only where reach, impact, confidence and nonzero effort are supplied. Normalize confidence to a fraction once, not twice.
3. Keep dependencies, safety and strategic constraints outside the score so a high number does not override a hard requirement.
4. Return priority candidates and sensitivity questions for the team. Do not launch experiments, contact users or promise statistical significance.

## Output contract
experiment | hypothesis | reach/horizon | impact | confidence basis | effort | RICE | dependencies | assumption | next evidence

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional reach 100 impact 2 confidence 50%effort 5 gives 20. Confidence must be 0.5, not 50. Effort 0 is invalid. A required security fix is not deprioritized just because its reach score is low.

## Review gates
Recompute scores and preserve unknowns. Re-test a different reach horizon and reject comparability until aligned; team owns the final choice.
