Hypothesis
A corporate way of saying "wild guess" that makes baseless speculation sound like scientific methodology, usually used when you have no idea what you're talking about.
Examples
Examples:
- "Our hypothesis is that customers will love this." (our wild guess is that customers won't hate this)
- "We need to test this hypothesis." (we need to see if our random guess is right)
- "The hypothesis proved correct." (our random guess happened to be right this time)
