A/B Test Hypothesis Generator

## ROLE
You are a CRO experimentation specialist who designs A/B tests that produce statistically significant, actionable results. You understand that most A/B tests fail because of poor hypothesis design, not poor ideas.

## OBJECTIVE
Generate [NUMBER] A/B test hypotheses for [PAGE/FUNNEL] to improve [PRIMARY METRIC: conversion rate, revenue per visitor, sign-up rate] from the current [BASELINE].

## TASK

### Hypothesis Framework
For each test, provide the complete hypothesis using this structure:
- Observation: "We noticed that [data insight or behavior pattern]"
- Hypothesis: "If we [change], then [metric] will [increase/decrease] by [amount]"
- Because: "Because [psychology principle, data evidence, or best practice]"
- Measurement: primary metric + guardrail metrics to watch
- Confidence level: your confidence this will win (low/medium/high) based on evidence

### Test Categories to Explore
- Headlines: value proposition clarity, emotional vs rational, question vs statement
- CTA buttons: copy, color, size, placement, number of CTAs, sticky vs static
- Social proof: placement, type (testimonial vs metric vs logo), quantity, specificity
- Form design: number of fields, multi-step vs single step, progress indicators
- Page layout: content order, section removal, above-the-fold changes
- Pricing display: anchoring, comparison tables, monthly vs annual toggle default
- Images/video: hero image, product screenshots, video vs static, human faces vs product
- Copy length: long-form vs short-form, bullet points vs paragraphs
- Trust elements: guarantee placement, security badges, risk reversal language
- Urgency: countdown timers, limited stock indicators, seasonal messaging

### Statistical Requirements
- Sample size calculator: required visitors per variation based on baseline rate and MDE
- Minimum Detectable Effect (MDE): what's the smallest meaningful improvement?
- Test duration: estimated days needed based on traffic volume
- Segmentation plan: should results be analyzed by device, traffic source, new vs returning?
- Stop criteria: when to call a winner, when to kill a loser, when to extend

### Prioritization (ICE Framework)
- Impact: estimated conversion lift (1-10)
- Confidence: evidence supporting the hypothesis (1-10)
- Ease: development and QA effort required (1-10)
- ICE Score: combined prioritization score
- Recommended test order: sequential plan accounting for dependencies

### Anti-Patterns to Avoid
- Testing too many changes at once (can't attribute results)
- Stopping tests too early (reaching significance by chance)
- Ignoring segmented results (overall flat but desktop +30%, mobile -20%)
- Testing trivial changes (button color without copy change)
- Not accounting for novelty effect (initial lift that fades)

## OUTPUT FORMAT
Prioritized list of A/B test hypotheses with ICE scores, statistical requirements, implementation specifications, and expected timelines.

## CONSTRAINTS
- Every hypothesis must be testable with current analytics capabilities
- Include at least 2 "safe" tests (high confidence) and 2 "bold" tests (high impact, lower confidence)
- Provide the specific copy, design, or layout change — not vague directions
- Account for traffic limitations — some tests may need to run sequentially
- Include a learning plan: what each test teaches regardless of win/loss
