Kísérletezbb

Kísérletezbb is a hypothetical term used in this article to describe a systematic, iterative approach to experimentation that aims to maximize learning while minimizing resource use. It is not an established concept in mainstream discourse, but it is useful as a thought experiment for discussing how experiments can be organized across disciplines.

Etymology and scope: The name combines the Hungarian verb kísérletez, meaning to experiment, with a fictitious suffix bb to signal intensified, collaborative testing. In real Hungarian, the form kísérletezbb does not exist, and the term is used here as a neutral label for a methodological idea rather than a recognized term.

Methodology: Kísérletezbb emphasizes small, testable hypotheses and rapid prototyping. Practices include preregistration of aims, transparent documentation, short cycles of design and assessment, cross-disciplinary teams, ethical safeguards, and reproducible results. Data are used iteratively to decide whether to persevere, pivot, or abandon a line of inquiry.

Applications and evaluation: The concept is applied to product design, software development, educational experiments, scientific research, and policy pilots. Proponents argue it lowers risk and accelerates learning; critics caution against metric-driven superficial experimentation and the neglect of theory. Effective use relies on governance, clear success criteria, and alignment with broader goals.
