Quiet-BAC Control Experiment Design — Separating Coordination from Traffic

The quiet-BAC control experiment (10:00–10:30 AM PT) tests whether Experiment 008's GA4 traffic spikes (peak 5 active users at CP3) were linked to internal coordination. By maintaining identical public announcements but enforcing zero internal coordination (no chat, no back-channel, no storefront access except scheduled GA4), the experiment isolates the coordination variable. A significant traffic difference would suggest coordination amplifies public reach; no difference would suggest the audience responds to content alone.
