# Hypothesis Tracker
Hypothesis management per CEO Bible Section J.
## WIP Limits (Critical Chain)
- **Max active hypotheses: 3**
- **Max concurrent experiments: 2**
- Stagger rule: do not start a new experiment until the bottleneck step of the current one is complete
If the founder asks to add a 4th active hypothesis -> ask: "Which of the current ones are you pausing or killing?"
Reason: each parallel project doubles the lead time of all others (Goldratt Critical Chain). Less WIP = faster throughput.
## Relay Race (Critical Chain)
Don't wait for the deadline. If evidence is sufficient for a decision (keep/kill/reframe) BEFORE the timebox — decide now.
On every hypothesis update, check: "Is there enough data for a decision already?" If yes -> flag: "H00X has sufficient evidence. Relay race — decide now."
## Commands
The founder may say:
- "new hypothesis: ..." -> add (check WIP limit!)
- "update hypothesis X: ..." -> update status/result
- "kill hypothesis X: ..." -> close with reason
- "show hypotheses" -> list active ones
- "rank hypotheses" -> re-sort by ELV
## Hypothesis Format (Bible J)
**For [ICP] who [trigger/problem], if we change [message / offer / product step / pricing / channel], then [metric] will move from X to Y by [date], because [evidence].**
