A/B Testing &
Product Experimentation Analysis

A product team ran a 50,000-user A/B test on a new homepage design and reports a +13% conversion lift (p=0.015). The CPO asks: 'Should we ship this to 100% of users?' You'll audit the experiment end-to-end: check Sample Ratio Mismatch, measure 95% confidence bounds against MDE, uncover device segment anomalies (mobile friction), verify revenue guardrail stability with Welch's t-test, and author a definitive 1-page executive decision memo.

What you'll learn

  • Deduplicate raw clickstream event logs and isolate step-by-step conversion drop-offs
  • Construct triangular cohort retention matrices and visualize decay with Seaborn heatmaps
  • Evaluate binary conversion rates with two-sample proportion Z-tests and 95% Wald CIs
  • Verify revenue guardrail stability with Welch's two-sample T-test (equal_var=False)
  • Audit experimental integrity using Chi-square goodness-of-fit for Sample Ratio Mismatch (SRM)
  • Detect temporal novelty effect decay across multi-week experiment windows
  • Structure and defend a 1-page executive decision memo using the Minto SCR framework

The 5 milestones

Each milestone is reviewed before you advance.

  1. 01

    Set up your project repo

    Before any analytical work: create a public GitHub repository, push the standard skeleton, and paste the URL into your workspace.

  2. 02

    Multi-Step Funnel & Friction Analysis

    Ingest user clickstream logs, deduplicate multi-session events, compute step-over-step conversions, and isolate mobile drop-off friction.

  3. 03

    Monthly Cohort Retention & Lifecycle Decay

    Construct triangular monthly cohort retention matrices and visualize user lifecycle stabilization using Seaborn heatmaps.

  4. 04

    A/B Test Statistical Evaluation & Diagnostics

    Ingest 50k experiment rows, compute two-sample proportion Z-tests, 95% Wald CIs, Welch's ARPU tests, Sample Ratio Mismatch checks, and novelty fade.

  5. 05

    Executive Decision Memo & Portfolio Deliverable

    Synthesize findings into a high-stakes 1-page CPO executive recommendation memo and assemble your polished GitHub portfolio repository.
