Essential Criteria for a Great Test

- Significance Levels:
- Single test: Minimum 95% significance or >85% Bayesian.
- Set of >50 tests with a success rate >40%: Minimum 80% significance.
- Runtime: Tests should generally run for 2-4 weeks. Logged-in tests can run longer if needed to account for the effects of cookie deletion.

- Click-Through Rate (CTR): Considered a “light” metric.
- Leads: Assess the Lead to Sale or Lead to Customer ratio.
- Sales: A more substantial target.
