Controlled test design

• Hypothesis: Test one setup change on a limited budget share before expanding it.
• Comparison: Concurrent current-setup control versus proposed setup with audience overlap checks
• Specify assignment, group overlap, exposure and contamination checks.
• Choose a primary metric, detectable effect and completed outcome window before calculating sample size.
• Set risk budget, guardrails, checkpoint and stop or restore conditions.

Acceptance checks

• Historical decisions use no future information.
• Search costs, error costs and uncertainty are included; counterfactual upside is estimated separately.
• Decision owner, risk budget, guardrails, checkpoint and restore condition are specified.
• Assignment, detectable effect and outcome horizon are specified before the test starts.

Deliverables

• A pilot design with success and stop criteria
• Agreed scope, source requirements, responsibilities and acceptance checks.
• A working brief for a readiness and delivery conversation, not a completed investigation.
