Experiment-system evaluation

Multivariate assignment, event integrity, and inference calibration.

VariantGrid treats an experiment as a versioned decision contract. It combines typed multivariate design, deterministic assignment, event-integrity gates, calibrated inference, and an operator workflow that withholds conclusions when the evidence is compromised.

Interactive system

The embedded sandbox exposes the system snapshot, deterministic assignment path, adversarial event cases, and experiment workflow.

Decision path

Each stage leaves evidence for the next one. A failed integrity check interrupts the path before an effect estimate can become a recommendation.

1. DefineHypothesis, metrics, states, constraints
2. FreezeImmutable version and allocation policy
3. ObserveAssignment, exposure, outcome events
4. GateSRM, integrity, timing, guardrails
5. DecideEffect, uncertainty, frozen record

Methods and artifacts

Scope and reproduction

PYTHONPATH=src python3 scripts/verify_release.py

This command stages a clean copy and runs the test, benchmark, and adversarial-integrity suites. The resulting artifacts establish deterministic local assignment, calibrated seeded simulation, adversarial SQLite event handling, and a reproducible operator workflow. They do not establish distributed durability, production uptime, customer adoption, or causal business impact.
