Down with Experimentation Maximalism is from the Analytics Engineering Roundup, and offers a great framework for thinking about how to use experimentation and product development:
before product-market fit (PMF), you should be developing bold hypothesis and attempting to get at the root of issues, which can just rely on descriptive statistics.
after PMF,[^1] you should more likely rely on a structured experimentation program to eke out the maximum returns from your current product’s monetization and quality.
