## What Is the Primary Purpose of Running Experiments? The main goal is to validate assumptions about whether a solution will solve user problems or deliver value. Many organizations skip this step, relying on untested assumptions and creating a cycle of wasted effort. >[!metaphor] >Skipping experiments is like sending a rocket to Mars without checking if the fuel works in space. You might get lift-off, but you’re gambling the entire mission on unproven assumptions. </br> Experiments break that gamble by validating whether your solution will actually solve problems or deliver value before you burn resources. ## Works Consulted 1.
