- Current stage
- VALIDATION
- Hypothesis
- A focused guide with practical tools can become the starting point for travelers and home cooks who want to understand Chinese hotpot.
- Validation goal
- Choose one primary audience and verify a complete path from landing page to useful tool or guide action.
- Evidence collected
- A broad guide covers regional styles, broths, ingredients, sauces, equipment, restaurants, and technique.
- Missing evidence
- Primary audience, current traffic by section, and tool-use events. Production was verified against the main branch on 2026-10-02.
- Exit criteria
- One primary job and one measurable entry path are published.
- Continue criteria
- The selected audience completes useful guide or tool actions during the review window.
- Kill criteria
- The focused entry path produces no verified discovery or useful actions after a full measurement window.
- Double-down criteria
- One audience repeatedly enters through the focused path and completes a useful action.
- Next experiment
- Choose one primary audience — first-time diners or home cooks — and test whether a focused path earns repeat visits.
