Oh the experiment didn't go as expected? Rerun 5 more times with minor tweaks. It definitely not p-hacking ;).

I’ve been there, we wanted to release a feature, it kept coming back with issues that made it perform much worse than control, after 5 or so iterations with bug fixes it came back positive.

It took a lot of analysis and time to clarify to higher ups that we weren’t just P-hacking , but at least they were concerned about that.
