Plan sample size, model MDE, analyze conversion and revenue results, and catch Sample Ratio Mismatch before you act.
Sample size depends on baseline performance, MDE, confidence, statistical power, test direction, and the number of variants. Statistical significance checks whether an observed difference is unlikely under the no-change assumption. Power helps prevent false negatives, while confidence helps control false positives.
Revenue Per Visitor is total revenue divided by total visitors. It combines conversion rate and Average Order Value while keeping the visitor as the randomization unit, making it the preferred revenue metric for most e-commerce experiments. AOV is still useful as a guardrail when order size changes matter.
SRM stands for Sample Ratio Mismatch. It checks whether the observed visitor counts for each variant match the planned allocation closely enough. A mismatch can point to randomization bugs, bot traffic, consent filtering, targeting mistakes, or analytics collection issues.
