The Pilot Science Approach
"Not: How many people used the product?"
But: What did we test, with whom, how long, with which metrics, and what can we carefully conclude?"

What Makes a Pilot "Good"
- ✓ Clear research question (not just 'Does it work?')
- ✓ Defined participants and inclusion criteria
- ✓ Structured protocol (Baseline → Intervention → Follow-Up)
- ✓ Regular measurements (not just at the end)
- ✓ Feasibility first (people actually complete it)
- ✓ Outcome signals tracked carefully
- ✓ Consent documented and respected
- ✓ Leads to a clear decision: Continue / Iterate / Expand / Pause / Redesign
