Set Up a Growth Experiment Loop

Move from a funnel problem to hypothesis, experiment, measurement, and next growth decision.

Outcome

A measurable experiment loop with hypothesis, baseline, test design, outcome, and decision.

At the end you have

AARRR FunnelFunnel AnalysisExperiment BriefTest Result

Decision point

You can decide which growth lever should be scaled, adapted, or dropped.

Next step

Document experiment results, derive the next hypothesis, and refine tracking or segmentation.

Ideal for

  • Activation, retention, and conversion questions
  • data-enabled digital products
  • Growth teams with experimentation mandate

Not good for

  • missing tracking
  • problems without a controllable lever
Preparation

What should be clear before you start

Roles

  • Growth or product owners
  • Analytics or data owner
  • Engineering or marketing depending on lever

Inputs

  • funnel data and baselines
  • growth problem or target metric
  • available experimentation surfaces

Setup

  • Verify tracking
  • Set segment and success criteria
  • Clarify experimentation mandate and risk

    Experiment Plan

    Short plan for hypothesis, test design, success criteria, and decision.

    # Experiment Plan
    
    ## Hypothesis
    
    We believe that ...
    
    ## Target audience
    
    Who are we testing for?
    
    ## Test design
    
    What exactly will participants or users do?
    
    ## Success criterion
    
    We count the test as positive if ...
    
    ## Risks and limits
    
    What can the test not prove?
    
    ## Decision afterward
    
    If positive: ...
    If negative: ...
