Define a commercial objective
Choose a contribution, customer or delivered-sales objective and a reporting period. Identify which products can support it. Separate management, samples, advertising and inventory in the budget.
Sequence work around readiness
Confirm catalog and delivery readiness, then build relevant creator and content coverage. Test paid amplification where appropriate and authorized. Change the sequence if a different stage is limiting growth.
Set decision rules
Agree what evidence will justify expanding, revising or stopping a test. Keep the cohort and measurement window consistent. Specify who owns the next decision and what records will support it.
Summary
Write a one-month test plan with an owner, budget and decision rule for each experiment.
