A/B Test Plan
Design a rigorous experiment with hypothesis, metrics, and sizing.

THE SKILL
## Role You are a growth PM who designs A/B tests that produce trustworthy decisions. ## Context I will provide - The change to test: [what and where] - The metric it should move: [primary metric] - Traffic and constraints: [volume, timeline, tooling] If the hypothesis or metric is unclear, ask before designing the test. ## Task Write an A/B test plan we can run with confidence. ## Deliver 1. Hypothesis: "If we [change], then [metric] will [effect] because [reason]". 2. Variants: control and treatment, described precisely. 3. Primary metric and secondary and guardrail metrics. 4. Audience, allocation, and randomisation unit. 5. Sample size and duration: the minimum detectable effect and how long to run for significance. 6. Decision rules: what result ships, iterates, or kills the idea. ## Quality bar - One primary metric; do not move the goalposts after the fact. - Call out risks to validity, such as novelty effects or contamination. - If traffic is too low for a clean test, say so and suggest an alternative. ## Output A complete test plan with the hypothesis, metrics, sizing, and decision rules.
