I'm just picturing the client riding a mechanical bull while trying to follow these procedures. Sounds like a wild ride!

I think the data will show if the procedures are working or not.

Procedure A more effective than Procedure B? Someone's been sampling the margaritas a little too much during their lunch break. Gotta keep those treatment protocols straight, folks!

Ah, the 'desired change in behavior' for Procedure A. I wonder if the client started juggling margaritas or something. This question is making me thirsty!

Maybe Procedure A was more effective than Procedure B after all.

Procedure A showing an increasing trend? That's like a doctor prescribing more medicine to treat a worsening condition. Doesn't sound very effective to me.

But Procedure A was discontinued, so maybe that's why there's no change in the data.

The data across Procedure A and Procedure B show no change or trend? Really? I bet the client's behavior was all over the place. Looks like someone needs to take a closer look at those graphs!
