# A/B Test Dashboard

> Track experiments, measure results, and make data-driven decisions.

---

## 🎯 What This Skill Does

| Capability | Description |
|------------|-------------|
| **Design Tests** | Structure proper A/B experiments |
| **Track Results** | Monitor test performance |
| **Calculate Stats** | Statistical significance checks |
| **Visualize Data** | Dashboard creation |
| **Report Findings** | Communicate results clearly |

---

## 1. A/B Test Basics

### What is an A/B Test?

| Term | Meaning |
|------|---------|
| **Control (A)** | Your current version |
| **Variant (B)** | The change you're testing |
| **Sample size** | Number of visitors needed |
| **Significance** | Confidence results aren't random |
| **Conversion** | The action you're measuring |

### What to Test (Priority)

| High Impact | Medium Impact | Low Impact |
|-------------|---------------|------------|
| Headlines | Button text | Font size |
| CTAs | Images | Colors |
| Pricing | Form fields | Spacing |
| Offers | Layout | Icons |
| Landing pages | Navigation | Animations |

---

## 2. Sample Size Calculator

### Quick Formula

```
Sample Size = (Z² × p × (1-p)) / E²

Where:
- Z = 1.96 for 95% confidence
- p = expected conversion rate
- E = margin of error (±)
```

### Simple Reference Table

| Current Rate | Lift to Detect | Sample per Variation |
|--------------|----------------|----------------------|
| 1% | 20% | ~40,000 |
| 2% | 20% | ~20,000 |
| 5% | 20% | ~8,000 |
| 10% | 15% | ~4,000 |
| 20% | 10% | ~3,000 |

## 3. Dashboard Metrics

### Core Metrics to Track

| Metric | Formula |
|--------|---------|
| **Conversion Rate** | Conversions / Visitors × 100 |
| **Relative Lift** | (B - A) / A × 100 |
| **Confidence Level** | Statistical p-value calculation |
| **Visitors per Day** | Total visitors / Days running |
| **Days to Significance** | Required sample / Daily visitors |

### Dashboard Layout

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  TEST: [Name]                Status: RUNNING │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤

## 4. Statistical Significance

### What Does It Mean?

| Confidence | Meaning |
|------------|---------|
| **95%** | 5% chance results are random (standard) |
| **99%** | 1% chance results are random (high stakes) |
| **90%** | 10% chance results are random (quick tests) |

### Quick Significance Check

| Scenario | Likely Significant? |
|----------|---------------------|
| Big difference + many visitors | ✅ Yes |
| Small difference + few visitors | ❌ No |
| Big difference + few visitors | ⚠️ Wait |
| Small difference + many visitors | ⚠️ Maybe real, but small |

### Avoid Common Mistakes

| Mistake | Problem | Solution |
|---------|---------|----------|
| Stopping early | False positives | Wait for sample size |
| Peeking too much | Bias decisions | Set check schedule |
| Testing too many things | Can't attribute cause | One change at a time |
| Running too short | Misses weekly patterns | Run 1-2 full weeks |

## 5. Simple Dashboard with Google Sheets

### Setup Steps

```
1. Create new Google Sheet
2. Tab 1: Raw data (date, variant, visitors, conversions)
3. Tab 2: Summary calculations
4. Tab 3: Charts
```

### Formula Examples

| Metric | Google Sheets Formula |
|--------|----------------------|
| **Conversion Rate A** | `=SUMIF(B:B,"A",D:D)/SUMIF(B:B,"A",C:C)` |
| **Conversion Rate B** | `=SUMIF(B:B,"B",D:D)/SUMIF(B:B,"B",C:C)` |
| **Lift** | `=(B_Rate-A_Rate)/A_Rate` |
| **Daily Visitors** | `=SUMIF(A:A,TODAY()-1,C:C)` |

### Simple Significance Formula

```
For approximation (use proper calculator for real tests):

Z = (pB - pA) / SQRT(p*(1-p)*(1/nA + 1/nB))

Where:
- pA, pB = conversion rates
- p = pooled rate = (convA + convB) / (nA + nB)
- nA, nB = sample sizes

If |Z| > 1.96, result is significant at 95%
```
