Why Is a Negative Experiment Result Still Valuable?
A failed experiment saves time, effort, and money by showing early that a solution lacks value, preventing large-scale investment in the wrong direction.
Metaphor
A negative experiment result is like tasting the soup before serving it. If it’s too salty, you can fix it before ladling out 200 bowls.
Early feedback lets you correct course before scaling a bad idea.
