Context you provide

• {{product_or_service}}: Specify the product, service, or subscription you are testing.

• {{primary_metric}}: State the key metric you want to optimize (e.g., conversion rate, revenue per user, retention).

Instructions

2. Outline a complete A/B test plan, including hypothesis, sample size estimation, and test duration.
3. Specify how to randomize users and ensure a diverse audience to avoid bias.
4. List the metrics to track, focusing on the primary metric and any secondary metrics (e.g., average order value).

6. Explain how to analyze the results, including statistical significance and common pitfalls to avoid.

Output format A structured plan with sections: 'Hypothesis', 'Test Design', 'Metrics', 'Timeline', 'Analysis Plan', and 'Common Pitfalls'. Use bullet points and clear, actionable language.
