Store outcomes, not stories

Record whether a proposal received a reply, advanced, or won. Keep interpretation separate so the underlying history remains trustworthy.

Review patterns in batches

One result is noisy. Review a meaningful group of proposals and compare similar opportunity types before changing your default approach.

Change one thing

When a pattern is credible, make one bounded adjustment and observe the next set of outcomes. That keeps learning attributable and reversible.
