Field guide / measurement

An experiment needs more than two page versions. Agree on the decision it will inform and the data it can produce.

## A practical sequence

- Define the eligible audience and unit of assignment. Keep a person or session from receiving conflicting treatment where the design requires consistency.

- Set the primary metric, guardrails and analysis plan in advance. Include sample assumptions and the stopping rule.

- Verify allocation, event delivery and important user journeys before reading uplift. Investigate unexpected sample imbalance.

- Classify the outcome as evidence for a decision, insufficient evidence or an implementation problem. Preserve uncertainty rather than forcing a winner.

### Take this into the brief

## The decision to take away

When data is insufficient, a carefully observed usability change may be a better next step than another underpowered test.
