A/B Test Setup

By Corey Haines (Marketing)

Plan and run experiments to find out which version of your page, email, or ad works best.

Growth Strategy

• Defines your North Star metric and maps your customer funnel from acquisition to referral
• Identifies which growth loop fits your business (viral, content, paid, or sales-driven)
• Analyzes retention patterns to spot product-market fit issues or activation problems
• Prioritizes growth experiments using impact, confidence, and ease scoring
• Designs referral programs and selects the right acquisition channels for your stage

A/B Test Setup

• Helps you write a clear hypothesis for what you're testing and why
• Calculates how much traffic and time you need for statistically valid results
• Guides you in choosing primary, secondary, and guardrail metrics to track
• Explains how to design test variants that isolate a single meaningful change
• Analyzes results and tells you whether the difference is real or just noise
