Interestingly I think this is similar to my operational mode when consulting but different from when I was running a company (there were a lot of non-optional things that had required execution but no return for out-executing; taxes or banking, etc) and different from some peers.

Since the sizing of an investment metaphor might be a bit weird for people who don't allocate capital professionally: Suppose hypothetically you have 100 units of mental bandwidth and run 5 experiments with 20 units each. 3 work, 1 has the seeds of greatness.

You could: a) Be told by your manager "Ugh, you've got a 40% failure rate." Many businesses are managed this way. Prefer not to work in them if you work in this fashion. b) Run 5 new experiments next quarter with 20 units each. c) Put ~60 units in scaling adoption of #1 result

Do you mean operational experiments or personal productivity / performance experiments?

So you’re alternating between experiment and scale quarters? I assume you’re discussion here is solely your own mental allocation, which it seems like grows more and less focused depending on the phase.

Gonna try this. My biggest challenge at work is probably prioritizing projects.
