Who joins · what earns the next step
Core team: Campaign lead + analytics + commercial owner. The sponsor agrees the outcome and reviews the decision.
Scale only when: A suitable comparison supports incremental contribution after media, discounts and delivery costs; claims pass review.
Connected ownership: Revenue agrees qualified demand; Finance validates contribution; Product tests the customer proposition.

MAKE THE THINKING VISIBLE
Which proposition should receive the next test budget?
Two propositions address different customer barriers. The brief links each variant to a specific hypothesis, holds the comparison conditions explicit and defines conversion and contribution outcomes before launch. More assets only count when they support a useful test.
Review and acceptanceBrand and relevant compliance reviewers approve release. The experiment owner pre-agrees the decision rule and attribution method.
Illustrative sample. Tailor the scope and thresholds before use.| Test | Customer hypothesis | Decision evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Proposition A | Reduce perceived effort | Test conversion and contribution |
| Proposition B | Increase buyer confidence | Use comparable audience conditions |
| Investment decision | Scale / iterate / stop | Apply agreed evidence threshold |

THE EXECUTIVE TEST
What changes
because of it?
Fund a named testing backlog with the released hours: customer research, proposition experiments and conversion improvements.
Will this produce more content or more profitable customers?
Connect every variant to a customer hypothesis and a scale/stop decision. Agree attribution and contribution economics before launch; asset volume is not the success measure.
Customer privacy, brand integrity, substantiated claims and experimental validity remain release conditions. Distinguish attributed revenue from incremental contribution.
THE 80/20 APPROACH
A strong starting point.
Shaped around your business.
Keep the useful structure. Adapt the priority, workflow, data, tools and success measures to your requirements.
Your commitment, our role and the investment
TIP brings: the tailored brief, facilitated build, reusable working structure and trial review. Your team brings: approved inputs, workflow expertise, an accountable owner and time to test in real work. Your organisation retains decision and release authority.
Agree the first stage before committing to the full journey. The proposal sets out fees, participant effort, trial scope and success measures. Include licences, review, upkeep and any integration in the total investment.
TEAM: 3h. ADVANCED: 4h. ACCELERATE: 2 × 4h with a workplace trial. FUNCTION: 8h + synthesis + 4h. The full journey is 27 facilitated hours, plus preparation, trial and follow-through; attendance varies by stage.
Start with approved AI tools and manual exports, with human review and named ownership. IT confirms access and data policy; sensitive or regulated workflows may need additional security, legal or governance review. Integrations, custom applications and unattended operation are separately scoped.
Inputs: production effort, campaign frequency, review cost, budget, contribution per acquired customer and test assumptions. Outputs: capacity and experiment economics. Show break-even improvement and scenarios; do not assume extra tests automatically create revenue.
