steps you might take, depending on the results of your test. Note: These additional steps might be to revise your original
hypothesis (if the results were unsatisfactory) or to propose new hypotheses. The goal is to continuously improve your
understanding of the factors influencing your outcomes, to be able to achieve greater results over time.
