A/B Testing - Estimated Time to Declare Winner

This is the duration the A/B test needs to run to determine a winner. Note, this is only available for a bounce rate-type A/B test.

This shows the relative improvement from the control. For example, a control may have had a 15% retention rate, but the variant had a 16% retention rate. The improvement is calculated as

((16 - 15) / 15) * 100 = ~6.67% improvement.

This metric is also known as lift.
