This document discusses how confirmation bias can negatively impact product experimentation by lowering success rates. It describes how teams often look for data to support their existing hypotheses rather than using discovery-first approaches. This "Forcing Insights and Learnings to Hypotheses" or "FILTH" practice misses opportunities. The document advocates conducting regular discovery research through methods like usability testing to identify problems and opportunities before ideating solutions. Tracking the origin and success rates of ideas can help teams move away from FILTH and improve experimentation outcomes.

EVIDENCE
THEY IGNORED
25. 1. Teams know they
need data to get
their ideas
prioritised!
26. 1. Teams know they

prioritised!
27. 2. Data is so much more accessible
these days, which is a good thing
28. But it makes this confirmation bias
MUCH more prevalent!
29. 3. Jumping to conclusions is a human
condition (and another bias)
30. 4. Lack of resource for discovery
UX Research teams too busy:
- Validating new ideas
Data teams too busy:
- Creating reports
- Cleaning data
- Finding data insights to support
existing ideas!
58. Summary
Conduct regular
Discovery
Research &
Analysis projects
throughout the
year.
1.
Follow-up with
problem-
focussed Ideation
workshops to
ensure a greater %
ideas are
data-driven.
2.
Make sure your
prioritisation
framework gives
higher scores to
data-driven ideas
than FILTHy ones!
3.
Track where the
ideas come from &
their success rates
when A/B tested.
