This is awesome and solves a huge problem.<p>Every startup constantly gets told to A&#x2F;B test everything, but nobody ever tells them that startups rarely have enough initial traffic to do any meaningful testing. As a result you end up spending a lot of work on what is effectively a random landing page or email template that might actually be worse than what you started with.

Hey! I&#x27;m the author and I&#x27;d be happy to answer any questions you might have.<p>Confidence.js is based on the A&#x2F;B testing code that we use at sendwithus.<p>A&#x2F;B testing math is hard and we&#x27;ve worked really hard on making this great. Let us know what you think!

Awesome work! Will look at replacing some hand rolled stuff internally. One gap I see with a lot of A&#x2F;B testing analysis is that it only solves for conversion. While conversion is a great metric for many tests, in my experience, revenue is often the metric that matters most. Whether it&#x27;s traditional eCommerce or selling tiered subscriptions, a lot of testing is geared towards 1) getting the customer to buy and 2) getting them into a more expensive product or plan. In the subscription scenario, some sort of customer life time value model is even better. I don&#x27;t pretend to know all the math, but the calcs I&#x27;ve seen focused on revenue (AOV * conversion) need order level data (as opposed to aggregate) so it&#x27;s not as easy to solve generically.

Was expecting this to actually be <a href="https://github.com/spumko/confidence" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;spumko&#x2F;confidence</a>, from WM Labs. Strange both would choose the same name for A&#x2F;B testing
