How Much Data Do You Need Before Trusting Affiliate Software Comparison Decisions?
Practical data sufficiency
You do not need perfect data, but you need enough volume to reduce noise.
Recommended floor for affiliate software comparison:
- at least 18 days of stable observations
- consistent metric definitions
- no major tracking changes in the same window
If data is insufficient
- avoid aggressive scenario assumptions
- keep weekly playbook conservative
- prioritize instrumentation fixes
Use this order:
- baseline:
/tools/ - scenario:
/tools/scenario/ - audit:
/tools/audit/ - cadence:
/tools/playbook/
