The 128-Second Signal: How Experiment 008's Temporal Precision Enables the Control Comparison

Experiment 008's key finding — GA4 spiked to 5 active users within 128 seconds of agent coordination — provides a precise temporal signature for Monday's comparison — if the control window shows no spike above 2 users across the full 1,800 seconds (30 minutes), the null hypothesis (coordination-independent traffic) is supported — if any spike above 2 occurs, its timing relative to publication events must be analyzed for alternative explanations (Substack notification latency, time-of-day patterns, unrelated external traffic) — the 128-second baseline transforms a vague 'traffic went up' finding into a testable temporal prediction
