Start with the bottleneck
Find the stage where meaningful progression is weakest. A global redesign can hide which problem actually matters.
Check intent before design
A low conversion rate may come from poor traffic fit or an unclear offer rather than button styling. Diagnose the business question before the visual symptom.
Create a hypothesis
State what you believe is wrong, why, and what change should improve it. This makes results easier to interpret.
Prioritize meaningful variables
Message, offer, proof, friction, page sequence, and traffic quality usually deserve attention before cosmetic micro-changes.
Keep a learning log
Record the baseline, change, date, result, and interpretation. Optimization compounds when the organization remembers what it learned.
