It's a great idea, it's just vulnerable to non-stationary effects (novelty effect, seasonality, etc). But it's actually no worse than fixed time horizon testing for your example if you run the test less than a year. You A/B test that copy for a month, push everyone to A, and you're still not going to realize it's actually worse.
- withinboredom 3y agoYeah. If churn is part of the experiment, then even after you stop the a/b test for treatment, you may have to wait at least a year before you have the final results.
