Your question is Design an Installment-Flow Experiment. Take a moment with it on the right.

Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).

Problem

Scenario

You work on a payments product where the team has built a new feature in the checkout installment flow intended to improve customer conversion. Stakeholders want to know whether the feature should launch broadly, but you need a rigorous experiment design that balances growth with risk to approval quality and customer experience.

Question

Walk me through how you would approach A/B testing this new feature. How would you decide what to measure, how long to run the test, and whether the results are strong enough to ship?

What this tests

  • Hypothesis articulation
  • Primary metric and guardrail selection
  • Power analysis with explicit MDE
  • Experiment design and launch decision discipline
