24. Hypothesis Testing
Design like you're right
Based on [quantitative/qualitative insight].
We predict that [product change] will cause [impact].
Test like you're wrong
Assuming the change has no effect (the null hypothesis) and running an experiment for 1 week.
If we can measure a Y% statistically significant change in [metric] then we reject the null
hypothesis and conclude there is an effect.
