What changed?
Here is what people did, what changed and what did not. Clicks, likes and noise do not count as change.
In the made-up test, putting the date first worked better
What we did
We made five pretend reader notes and used them to check the guide.
What changed
Four found all three facts. One missed the last day to reply until we put it in the first paragraph.
Our proof
This was made up. No real people took part, so it proves nothing about a real council page.
How sure are we?

Who checked it?
Coding for Justice made-up test
Who did this help?
Only the pretend readers in the example.
What did not change
We do not know if the guide would help more real people reply or change a real choice.
What we learnt and what happens next
Doing a task is not the same as helping people. A real test needs real readers who say yes and a group that will use the result.
Where this result came from
Public proof only. No private reply was used.
