diagnosing-experiment-results

Diagnoses bias, anomalies, and strange-looking results on a specific PostHog experiment. Covers empty / 0-exposure experiments, sample ratio mismatch, identity fragmentation, multi-variant exposure, uneven-split exclusion bias, significance traps (peeking, A/A, Bayesian vs Frequentist), PostHog-vs-SQL discrepancies, and surprises after mid-run edits. Symptom-driven dispatch to the right diagnostic. TRIGGER when: user asks 'is my experiment biased?' or 'why 0 exposures?', references the bias banner, says a variant looks strange / wrong / off, sees significance flipping, notices PostHog numbers disagreeing with their SQL, sees an A/A test showing significance, or reports surprises after mid-run edits. DO NOT TRIGGER when: creating a new experiment (use creating-experiments), only configuring rollout (use configuring-experiment-rollout) or metrics (use configuring-experiment-analytics), or only asking lifecycle questions (use managing-experiment-lifecycle).
