The product page for Anytime Ankle Sock does not display a price or size selector in the rendered crawl, and the collection page's size filter note about half sizes is only in fine print, creating a potential expectation gap for customers expecting standard sizing.

The product page inventory shows no prices or size selector in the body sample, and the direct_signals for the product page are not provided (only for other pages). The collection page body sample includes 'Most of our shoes only come in full sizes. If you're a half size, select your nearest whole size too.' in the filter section, which is not prominent on product pages.

not testable at current traffic.
Rollback
Feature-flag the change; revert the flag if the primary metric
drops for 3 consecutive days.
annual visits × baseline conversion × relative lift × order value
= 2,160,000 annual visits x 2.10% conversion x 1.0-5.0% relative lift x $78 order value
The 1.0–5.0% relative-lift band is an assumption bounded by severity (High), not a prediction.
Why the range is conservative: Across 127,000 experiments, 12% produced a statistically significant improvement on the primary metric; a healthy programme win rate is 10-30%. Winning tests also overstate their true effect, so treat this as the prize if the change works — never expected revenue.

Sample size math
Two-proportion z-test, the standard pre-test sample-size calculation:
n = [z₀.₀₂₅·√(2·p̄·(1−p̄)) + z₀.₂₀·√(p₁(1−p₁)+p₂(1−p₂))]² / (p₁−p₂)²
Baseline conversion
2.1%
Significance / power
95% / 80%
Sample per variant, 5.0% lift
299,882
Sample per variant, 1.0% lift
7,353,946
Halving the minimum detectable effect roughly quadruples the sample required, which is why the conservative figure is so much larger.
What PXL is
PXL is CXL's prioritisation framework: binary questions instead of subjective 1–10 guesses, weighted toward evidence.
Findings discovered by inspection score zero on all four evidence questions — that is the honest signal, not a defect. Findings verified by direct measurement earn the extension point and, where real-user field data is involved, the analytics point.
