Description

In T421189, we started the Suggestion Mode MVP controlled experiment in Test Kitchen with automated analysis in Supserset.

And in T425595, we identified a set of UX issues that we thought were impactful enough to prioritize fixes for.

As a result of both of the above, we'd like to retroactively revise the start of the Suggestion Mode MVP experiment as follows. See Requirements below.

Hi @ppelberg !

Could you confirm what's the related experiment? I have found https://test-kitchen.wikimedia.org/experiment/fy25-26-we-1-7-8-suggestion-mode-beta but I'm not sure if it's because its original start date doesn't coincide with the one you mentioned in the description above

Thanks!
