Trial Run Supports The Entire Experimentation Lifecycle

DESIGN

  • How many sites / markets / customers to use as the test sample
  • Which are those sites / markets / customers
  • How representative is this sample of the population

ANALYZE

  • Which is the best control for each test entity
  • How statistically reliable is the measured lift
  • What is driving or draining the lift

ACT

  • How to maximize ROI by optimizing rollout
  • How to record all tests & learning for future use
  • How to maintain a calendar to avoid test overlap

By automating the experimentation lifecycle, Trial Run lets you focus on what’s important – making informed decisions based on the actionable insights delivered.

Featured Case Study – Store Remodeling

A leading US retailer sought to stay relevant by remodeling its stores but wanted to
accurately assess all the variables before committing to costs that ranged into the millions.

A US Retailer decided to conduct an experiment to determine the effect of in-store modifications on sales.

Space optimization Improved decor New motifs New fixtures New signage Remodeling downtime

Trial Run's unique algorithm simulated control parameters for each specific location to determine the store-by-store impact.

6% overall lift in Sales 22 (of 27) of the stores generated a positive lift 15%+ lift in few stores

Based on the results, the retailer decided to undergo remodeling of large stores only

Average breakeven of large stores was less than 2.5 years Average breakeven of small stores was expected to be 5-7  years

Trial Run lets you measure impact on sites as well as individuals
