Discriminating prediction

What it producesalso: the test · prediction that distinguishes it · testable prediction

The specific, measurable prediction that separates one hypothesis from its rivals.

It is the hypothesis's stake in the contest. The hypothesis audit checks whether it actually discriminates: a prediction every rival also makes is not a test, and a prediction that names no measurable outcome is not one either.
