Keep the work, the numbers, and the verdict on the same record
A completed project and a moving metric are not the same thing. Symphiq keeps what the team did, what happened in the intended metric, and what a person concluded beside each other so the next decision starts from a recorded history instead of a reconstructed story. A question worth asking of any plan: how confidently could it answer "did that work?" about your last big project?
See how the roadmap carries this forwardPut the work and the metric on the same timeline without joining them with a causal arrow
Started and completed work can sit beside the intended metric's movement over the same period. That makes the record easier to inspect while keeping the distinction clear: timing is evidence, not proof of cause.

- Below the axisWhat the intended metric did over the same period, on the same scale.

The product should not grade its own homework
When the work is done, the person who ran it answers a few questions about what they observed. That conclusion stays on the same record as the work and the number, so later reporting and review do not depend on memory. When someone asks whether it worked, the answer comes from the record.
Expectations partly met
A free-shipping promotion overlapped the observation period.
Observed movement does not prove the work caused it.
If the result disappoints, the next idea should not start from zero
When the recorded outcome does not meet expectations, Symphiq can propose a remedy for the team to consider. The original work, the observed movement, the verdict, and the proposed next move remain connected, and a person still decides what happens next. And because every outcome is recorded this way, the next plan starts sharper than the last one did. That is the compounding.

Answers
No. Symphiq keeps work events and observed metric movement beside each other without treating timing as proof of causality.
A person records the conclusion after reviewing the available evidence.
Symphiq can propose a next move or remedy for the team to consider. It remains proposed until a person decides what to do.
The verdict feeds the next review.
