Write a Pricing Experiment Summary
Added 2026-11-02
Conclusion, data, limits and next step — not just whether it went up or down.
We just finished a pricing experiment (data below). Write the summary: 1) one-sentence conclusion on whether the experiment met its goal; 2) key numbers — conversion, order value, revenue — test versus control; 3) what this result does not show, covering sample, duration and external factors; 4) what risks expanding would bring and what to monitor; 5) a next step — scale, retest on another sample, or stop — with the reasoning. Do not make the result sound better than it is.

How to use
实验总结要写「不能说明什么」，否则会被过度引用。
Try tweaking it
- Have it state how the hypothesis could be falsified before discussing execution.
- Split the plan into a one-week testable experiment.
What you should get
- A small testable experiment with a failure threshold
- Costs, risks, and what needs outside confirmation
Common mistakes
- Asking for a "full business plan" and getting unverifiable optimistic assumptions.
- No failure threshold, so you never know whether to continue.
How to check the output
- There is a clear failure threshold, testable within a week.
- Costs, assumptions and risks are listed separately.
Where it works
- Good for: turning business assumptions into a small testable experiment with a failure threshold first.
- Watch out: for pricing, contracts and legal points, treat output as a draft needing professional review.
