Plan one content change, log comparable post pairs at the same age, and keep the observed differences with the context behind them. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open Posts, then Content Trials. Choose the channel, baseline, changed approach, metric, post age and minimum view count before recording pairs. 2. Record each post reference and its view/action counts. Confirm matching age and comparable context; note audience, topic or traffic differences. Unconfirmed, excluded and low-view pairs remain visible. 3. After at least three eligible pairs, review the descriptive median difference and each pair in the chart. Save your next step and share the report or CSV text. Existing audience snapshots, growth trends, post logs, milestones and CSV exports remain available. Content Trials uses a separate local library. The Posts screen no longer shows an unsupported cross-platform follower-tier engagement grade. WHAT TO KNOW Manual observations only, not randomized A/B testing, statistical confidence or a causal winner. Counts are actions per 1,000 views, not unique people. Settings lock after observations; up to 50 trials and 50 pairs each. No platform connection or automatic data collection. iPhone and iPad.
