Rollback
Feature-flag the change; revert the flag if the primary metric
drops for 3 consecutive days.
1,000 visitors × baseline conversion × relative lift
= per 1,000 visitors at an assumed 2.00% baseline conversion rate and a 1.0-5.0% relative lift
The 1.0–5.0% relative-lift band is an assumption bounded by severity (High), not a prediction.
The baseline conversion rate is an assumption — the client did not supply one, so an industry-typical 2.0% is used and labelled as such.
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
2.0% (assumed)
Significance / power

Sample per variant, 5.0% lift
315,206
Sample per variant, 1.0% lift
7,729,571
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.
