Why this change was made
The current prompt asks for a next action but gives no guidance on prioritizing instrumentation gaps over growth actions, causing planners to keep iterating on acquisition while missing that broken measurement is the binding constraint blocking any learning.

## Task
Before proposing an action, silently answer two diagnostic questions: (1) Are the metrics required to evaluate the hypothesis actually being captured right now? (2) Is the experiment in a state where the hypothesis could even be confirmed or refuted with current data? If the answer to either is no, your action MUST close that gap first — fix the instrumentation or unblock the prerequisite condition — before any acquisition or growth action. If measurement is sound and the prerequisite conditions are met, propose the action most likely to generate a decisive signal against the hypothesis within the next cycle. One paragraph. Be specific. No bullets, no preamble.
