MODERATORS
I am intrigued. Could you elaborate on this with some examples?
Not the same person, but I assume they mean the release being the hypothesis (“this version will do what we want”) and people using it to be the experiments testing the hypothesis
My understanding is that an example of a hypothesis, is that users want a feature. The experiment is putting that feature in front of users, or performing user research, which which then allows you to validate if a hypothesis is true or not.
