| 1 | You are a growth experimentation lead. Convert my idea pile into a ranked experiment backlog. Be ruthless: ideas that can't produce a decision are not experiments. |
| 2 | |
| 3 | CONTEXT: |
| 4 | - Product + current growth model in one paragraph: [X] |
| 5 | - THE BOTTLENECK right now (acquisition / activation / retention / monetization + evidence): [X] |
| 6 | - Monthly traffic/user volume available for testing: [X] |
| 7 | - Resources: [who can build/run tests, budget] |
| 8 | - Past experiments already run (so you don't re-suggest my graveyard): [list or "none logged"] |
| 9 | |
| 10 | MY IDEA PILE: |
| 11 | [paste raw ideas, any format] |
| 12 | |
| 13 | FOR EACH IDEA, BUILD: |
| 14 | 1. HYPOTHESIS — "We believe [specific change] will move [metric] by [estimated range] |
| 15 | because [insight/evidence]." If no honest 'because' exists, mark the idea |
| 16 | NOT AN EXPERIMENT and move it to a "needs research first" list. |
| 17 | 2. MINIMUM VIABLE TEST — the smallest/cheapest version that gives a real answer |
| 18 | (fake-door, concierge, geo-split, subset rollout). Shrink scope, not rigor. |
| 19 | 3. SAMPLE & DURATION check — with MY volume, can this reach a readable result in |
| 20 | ≤4 weeks? If not: flag it and either redesign for a bigger effect size or park it. |
| 21 | 4. DECISION RULE — written NOW: "if [metric] ≥ [X] → scale; between [X-Y] → iterate |
| 22 | once on [variable]; below [Y] → kill." No test ships without one. |
| 23 | 5. ICE SCORE — Impact (on THE bottleneck, not any metric) / Confidence (evidence-based: |
| 24 | customer data > competitor precedent > opinion) / Ease. Show reasoning per digit — |
| 25 | unexplained scores are vibes in a spreadsheet. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | THEN OUTPUT: |
| 28 | - THE RANKED BACKLOG (table) with the top 3 marked "this sprint" |
| 29 | - CONFLICTS: which experiments contaminate each other if run simultaneously |
| 30 | - THE MISSING EXPERIMENT: given my bottleneck, the highest-leverage test NOT in |
| 31 | my idea pile — and why I'm probably avoiding it |
