Faster Turnaround Lives in the Statistics
Shorter test cycles usually don't come from more people or machines — but from getting the statistical plan right first.
Where turnaround slows

Three levers
- Up-front power analysis to set the necessary sample size
- Sensible batch design to reduce confounding
- Automated data checks to reduce rework
