Design like you're right

Based on [quantitative/qualitative insight].
We predict that [product change] will cause [impact].


Test like you're wrong

We will test this by assuming the change has no effect (the null hypothesis) and running an experiment for [X week(s)].
If we can measure a Y% statistically significant change in [metric] then we reject the null hypothesis and conclude there is an effect.

Hypothesis inputs:

Power Analysis calculation:

The number of people visiting your site that could see the change on a given day.
This is the percentage of your eligible visitors that currently complete your goal (e.g. purchasing or signing up).
You need to run your experiment for at least 1 full business period.
This is the percent by which you predict you will change your base conversion rate. Use the minimum that would be worth the effort, or play with different values.


If you are 95% confident in a result, this implies that with 5% probability the observed difference is in fact due to chance.
