q2 · i? · causal · r2

Within-subjects user study (N=14) comparing SupplyNet against the HBS Beer Game baseline with counterbalanced order. The article reports statistically significant improvements (p<0.01), with 13 participants rating SupplyNet highly on "connecting decisions to performance" compared to only 3 for the baseline. No effect size is printed.

"As shown in 7,SupplyNetshowed statistically significant improvements (p<0.01) over the baseline"
