Taste cleared the 55% bar at 64%.
At-home product test · Decision brief
The finding
Keel Lemon Water is still too close to call.
Buy at price could land on either side of the bar once uncertainty is considered.
Do not make the decision from the point estimate alone. The interval—not the most flattering number—is the honest result.
See the proofWhat this supports
- That the preference interval still crosses an even split — more sample would tighten the call.
- Taste as the leading cited reason when the product won.
- Stated definite buy-again intent after Session 1 (47%).
What this does not support
- A launch recommendation, sales forecast, or share-of-shelf prediction.
- That it dominates every competitor — Northveil Lemon remains the soft comparison.
- That changing one cited reason would causally move preference.
Keel Lemon Water is still too close to call.
Each call below comes from the frozen server verdict. A favorable percentage is not relabeled as a pass when its interval or pre-set bar says otherwise.
Liking cleared the 60% bar at 72%.
Buy at price is too close to call at 61%.
Do not make the decision from the point estimate alone. The interval—not the most flattering number—is the honest result.
