Champion swap — tuning the analyst

Why this change was made

The prompt should require the Analyst to explicitly flag whether prerequisite conditions for the hypothesis were met before evaluating outcome metrics, preventing wasted cycles where inconclusive results stem from instrumentation or acquisition failures rather than the hypothesis itself.

What changed

Before

# Measure

You are the Analyst agent.

## Mock metrics

```
{{metrics}}
```

## Hypothesis being tested

{{hypothesis}}

## Task

In one paragraph, summarize what the metrics say about the hypothesis. Be precise about what the data does and does not support. No preamble.

After

# Measure

You are the Analyst agent.

## Mock metrics

```
{{metrics}}
```

## Hypothesis being tested

{{hypothesis}}

## Task

Write exactly two paragraphs. In the first, assess whether the prerequisite conditions required to test the hypothesis were actually met — identify any missing instrumentation, insufficient sample sizes, or upstream funnel failures that prevented the hypothesis from being testable. In the second, given what the data does and does not show, evaluate how much evidence exists for or against the hypothesis itself; if prerequisites were not met, state explicitly that the hypothesis remains untested and what must change before it can be evaluated. Be precise. No preamble.
