A single uplift percentage hides sample size, uncertainty and potential margin damage.
A result is useful when the decision is clear.
| Segment | Eligible sessions | Completed orders |
|---|---|---|
| Control | 4000 | 240 |
| Variant | 4020 | 261 |
Hypothesis
Showing shipping information earlier may increase completed orders per eligible checkout session.
Definition
Conversion rate = completed orders / eligible sessions.
Decision rule
Review the planned sample, uncertainty, instrumentation and contribution guardrail before rollout.
Interpretation
Compare the numerical difference alongside the experiment design and decision criteria.
How the pieces work together
| Stage or segment | Condition or need | Next step or deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| Validity | Assignment and tracking checks | Can the comparison be trusted? |
| Primary outcome | Orders per eligible session | Estimate difference and uncertainty |
| Guardrails | Margin, refunds and errors | Check for harm elsewhere |
Measurement plan
Report sample sizes, absolute percentage point difference and relative change with the chosen statistical method stated.
Before implementation
