Scenario: You are Supervisor or Research for Doggie Heaven Biscuit Company. Your scientists have developed a new dog biscuit for the treatment of doggie breath. In a clinical trial of a new drug, the new biscuit is shown to be better in reducing doggie breath than the current biscuit made by your company.
