The also the possibility that there is an algorithm that tweaks the success rates so as to maintain a certain liquidity of tech 2 items that gets 'reset' after every patch... LIKE ALL MY DAMN SETTINGS!
There's nothing that tweaks invention, the chance is the same with the same inputs, always.
What tweaks invention is that at a certain point players stop inventing an item because it's not worth it. That's what adjusts supply, not some secret algorithm.

I just put on 10 runs, and got 70% success. (without any meta item).
Conclusion would be that they boosted invention. Hugely.
Of course I'm not this stupid. The chances are the same, I was just lucky as everyone who thinks they nerfed it was unlucky. And in many cases they were lucky before the patch and unlucky after and so there appears to be a change when there was none.

CCP continues to remain silent on the subject...
They only say anything when they make changes. As they did the whole two times that changes were actually made.
The rest of the 'invention was nerfed' crowd of course simply make more money if you believe them.

I thought CCP tries to stay transparent. But events like these prove otherwise. Very inconsistent and a sure way to lose customers.
There SEVERAL of these threads every single patch, you honestly expect CCP to respond with 'nothing has changed' in every one every time ? Get serious.

As I said, I did a lot of jobs. Not 1000, but 100 for sure.
Statistically, 100 is not a lot.

I, too, have my own anecdotal evidence of how my Caldari inventions suddenly started working and my Minmatar ones stopped.
So....I made a form. Feel free to use it. The more data I can collect, the more statistically significant the results become. Please do not abuse this. If you think it's stupid, then let the rest of us just be stupid.
Please use the official Eve name of the item. You don't have to put Tech 1 or Tech 2.

The data won't be any good because you're not collecting WHICH decryptor was used, which affects success rate more than anything else so.....
Also, I'm not entirely sure what you would hope to actually achieve, even contrary to every time they actually HAVE changed invention, CCP didn't tell us. (Their success rate for telling us so far has been 100%). What would you get out of it ?
The only thing I can see of benefit is telling people the success was reduced to make people stop inventing to increase profits. ;)
So yes.
Invention success is now 0%, everyone stop you're wasting money
