How to use this tool
- Define the approved data cut-off, comparator, machine population, metric rules, and materiality thresholds.
- Enter each section or bank with current and comparator activity, availability, win, theoretical expectation, occupancy, downtime, and issues.
- Review material movement, source gaps, capacity constraints, confounders, and alternative explanations before recommending a change.
- Generate the analytics brief, assign controlled tests and owners, document limitations, and obtain management approval.
Operating safeguard: Short-term slot movement can reflect volatility, calendar mix, occupancy, downtime, game mix, data timing, promotions, and guest behavior. Do not treat a result as proof of machine defect or causal impact without supporting evidence.
