###   
Execution and reflection 

In the app, the client chooses whether one of the two predicted outcomes was correct (or a third, alternative outcome).   
The client again scores the credibility (0-100%) of both thoughts and reflects on the experiment. 

A completed behaviour experiment is identified on your client's 'Data' tab by the green tick.
