Example Filled Template

A/B Experiment Plan: Checkout Progress Indicator

Hypothesis

Showing a three-step progress indicator will reduce checkout abandonment for first-time buyers.

Variants

Variant Description Allocation
Control Current checkout header 50%
Treatment Header with step indicator 50%

Metrics

Primary metric: completed checkout rate. Guardrail: payment error rate.

Sample Size

Baseline conversion is 41%. Minimum detectable effect is +2.5 percentage points over 14 days.

Decision Rules

Launch if conversion lift is positive, statistically significant, and payment errors do not increase.
