Learning objectives: Run playtests specifically structured to surface systemic balance problems, and use quantitative play data alongside qualitative feedback.

Run systems-focused tests with lightweight telemetry so balance decisions are based on measurable patterns, not guesswork.
Run systems-focused tests with lightweight telemetry so balance decisions are based on measurable patterns, not guesswork.
Work in short focused segments, then pause to apply each concept directly in your project, spreadsheet, or design document.
Record diagrams, tuning notes, and before-after decisions as you go so each week produces usable implementation evidence.
Keep this segment short and complete the practice action before continuing.
Use targeted questions that capture dominant options, scarcity issues, challenge spikes, and fairness concerns.
Apply the method in your build or design artifact and capture what changed.
Log key events like upgrade picks and run outcomes, then aggregate multiple sessions for convergence signals.
Finish with validation and a concrete next-step decision.
Apply one targeted change, re-test, and verify whether the chosen metric moved in the intended direction.
Use this short checkpoint marker when your weekly implementation pass is complete.
