## How Can You Convince Stakeholders to Experiment? Use questions like “How do we know this will deliver value?” and stress that experiments can be short and low-cost. Compare the cost and risk of a quick test to months of development without validation. >[!metaphor] >Convincing stakeholders to experiment is like suggesting a taste-test before ordering 500 cupcakes for the office party. A small sample lets you confirm people actually like the flavor before committing to a massive (and potentially regrettable) bake. </br> Framing experiments as quick, low-cost taste tests makes it clear they’re a smarter bet than investing months in unvalidated work. ## Works Consulted 1.
