You seek the evidence of the facts like "if a random person, or a person with properties Z, tastes this new improved cheesecake, what's the probability they'll enjoy it? How highly will people rank it on so and so scale?". This can be estimated in many ways, with different levels of certainty. Advice is useless noise if you don't expect it to work for you.
