What it does

Test without risking what already works

Every experiment runs on the same intent and audiences as the experiences it tests.

  • Test what customers see

    Run experiments on recommendations, overlays, and AI chat.

    • Overlays
    • AI Chat
  • Pick the metric that matters

    Use conversion rate or click-through rate as the primary metric.

  • Protect what matters

    Guardrails watch the metrics you can’t afford to hurt while a test runs.

Lifecycle

From draft to decision

Every experiment follows the same path, so everyone knows where a test stands.

  1. 1

    Draft

    Choose the experience, variants, primary metric, and guardrails.

  2. 2

    Running

    Customers are split between the control and each variant.

  3. 3

    Collecting

    Results build until they’re conclusive or guardrails step in.

  4. 4

    Winner eligible

    A variant clearly beats the control on the primary metric.

  5. 5

    Resolved

    Keep the winner or return to the control, manually or automatically.
