[PSA] timeframe is not what most of this community thinks it is

Discussion Long Haul ×2 Slow Clap ×1

Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.

The advice on timeframe in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.

I have listed what I think the current consensus is below. Correct me — that is the point of posting it.

This is correct. Process matters more than the number.

Strongly agree. NSV counts.

Respectfully this is a sample of one presented as a finding.

Mechanistically the bit that matters is timeframe. It explains most of the early profile and a decent chunk of the outcome.

Disagree. What you are describing is consistent with goal, not with what you concluded.

Stalled for 20 weeks, changed nothing, and it started moving again on week 40.

Yeah, text-only removes the comparison.

This is the "correlation is mechanism" thing again. You changed three variables at once.

the goal change matters as much as the scale

Removed a chain here. The rule is one line long and it is not negotiable.

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.
