Global

In this experiment, two different navigation defaults were tested against each other. In one version we can see 1) more popular products with 2) more categorical granularity being shown in the expanded state. In the other version we see "new products" being shown as the default (with a lot fewer product subcategories) to choose from.

For each pattern, we measure three key data points derived from related tests:

REPEATABILITY - this is a measure of how often a given pattern has generated a positive or negative effect. The higher this number, the more likely the pattern will continue to repeat.

SHALLOW MEDIAN - this is a median effect measured with low intent actions such as initiating the first step of a lengthier process

DEEP MEDIAN - this is derived from the highest intent metrics that we have for a given test such as fully completed signups or sales.
