From hypothesis to a finance-ready write-up. The course we still teach ourselves against.
Audience splits, contamination, and the unglamorous work of keeping a control group intact.
Matched markets, weather, and why a pretty map is not a design.
Alumni voices
Module three forced us to throw out a national holdout that looked tidy in the brief. Painful in the room. Correct on the live account six weeks later.

I still dislike how slow a clean geo test feels. The Lift Studio did not pretend otherwise.

How we teach
Conversion lift measurement fails when teams start in a vendor UI. We start with the claim you want to make, the unit of randomisation you can actually defend, and the sample you can afford to starve.
Every studio critique uses a live-shaped brief from UK retail, travel, or subscription — rewritten so no client is identifiable, but the constraints stay awkward on purpose.
