Anna and a student team examined a tree-planting project. Their purpose was to improve follow-up care for young trees. During the first observation, watering was irregular. Instead of treating that result as final, the team introduced a care schedule. In the next observation, more trees survived. The students recorded the conditions of each trial so that later comparisons would not rely on memory alone.
