Metric Side-by-Side

Open by placing two visually identical subjects next to each other, insisting nothing was changed, then revealing the single hidden metric that separates them.

When

Use this when you have a controlled before/after or A/B result where the visual looks the same but one number tells the whole story — experiments, tests, split-tests, transformations.
