certificate of analysis — my 17-week log, condensed into one table
Right, the batch question again, but with numbers this time. I have 15 data points over 4 weeks. The pattern is consistent enough that I do not think it is chance, and boring enough that nobody is going to screenshot it, which is usually a good sign. The thing I would flag for anyone new: the effect I am describing…
the batch number or it did not happen
This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.
