What it does
When you hunt for the cause of a problem or the one winner in a big pile, it is tempting to look at the top few and stop. That misses the part you didn't measure, and it mixes up a lucky result with a real one. Searching well means one signal, measured the same way every time, on every part. This skill picks that signal and checks your measuring setup on a case where you know the answer. It plans to split the pile by ordinary means, measure every part, and keep only the part where the signal is strongest. When a result is a surprise, it rules out a test error before calling it real. It stops when the signal stops concentrating.

- The pile you are searching and the thing you want to find
- A sheet with results per item, for a stated period

You get
