The point about separating survival metrics from learning metrics really stands out. A lot of companies talk about experimentation but then judge every pilot by whether it makes money right away, which basically filters out anything that could actually shift thinking. The G4 Cube comparison works well here because it shows how an idea can migrate even when the product dies. Makes you wonder how many insights get buried because the vessel failed.

Happy, the difference between the two metrics stands out.
I guess that the corporate race for better bottom line buries the learning metrics, so in the end, the whole organization loses.
