This method is ideal for teams operating in regulated environments or those with fixed-duration testing requirements.
Key benefits:
-
Ensures statistical rigor with a traditional and well-established approach
-
Supports pre-defined test durations
-
Enables consistent, auditable analysis

Bayesian Stats Engine
The Bayesian Stats Engine interprets probability in an intuitive, decision-focused way—answering questions like “how likely is this variation to be better?” It’s ideal for teams who want faster insights, continuous monitoring, and the flexibility to incorporate prior knowledge into their analysis.
Key benefits:
-
Enables continuous monitoring without increasing false positives
-
Presents results in a clear, probability-based format
-
Allows integration of prior information to reach significance faster

Guardrail Alerts
Guardrail Alerts notify you when a key metric declines beyond a set threshold during an experiment. Often tied to guardrail metrics like site speed or signups, these alerts help prevent negative outcomes and enable fast, proactive decision-making.
Key benefits:
-
Proactive monitoring of guardrail metrics
-
Timely notifications when metrics fall outside acceptable ranges
-
Usable across the platform to safeguard critical KPIs

Categories
Quickly organize your workspace by grouping related assets like dashboards, events, and explorations—making everything easier to find, manage, and govern.
Key benefits:
- Group related dashboards, explorations, and events under shared categories to reduce clutter and help teams navigate growing data environments.
- Assign categories by team, product, or status (e.g., “Verified”) to establish clear ownership and enforce consistent governance.
- Help users quickly find what they need by enabling filtering and search by category—no more digging through disconnected assets.

Key benefits:
- Instantly open your go-to dashboards and explorations.
- Skip search and navigation for frequently used assets.
- Focus your view around what matters most to you.
