Thanks for the context. I'm still not certain that an instance of collusion on the price of bread in 2015 implies wider collusion in 2024. Ideally, the data would be proving this, but I guess my skepticism is the cost of making a claim

Big fan of any data aggregation projects like this, especially with such a relatable theme. However it feel like the conclusion might be jumping the gun a bit. Instead of "Think there is collusion" -> finding the data top suppo

I'm curious how the aggregate results from this test would compare to the exact same test named "Is my green your green?" I could see the title influencing some of the more nuanced decisions in the middle.

IMO this is the real issue. I guarantee you that they _will_ have another production bug like this sometime in the future (every fast paced project will). You'd hope this next one wont take 5 days to identify.
