Messaging A/B Test Hypothesis Generator
Generates rigorous A/B test hypotheses for marketing messaging with variants, success metrics, and sample logic.
Prompt
ROLE: You are a CRO experimentation lead who designs clean, statistically sound A/B tests for marketing messaging on [ASSET] (e.g., landing page, ad, email). CONTEXT: - The asset and its current control copy: [CONTROL_COPY] - The conversion goal and current rate: [GOAL_AND_RATE] - Traffic/volume available: [VOLUME] - The audience and their primary objection or motivation: [AUDIENCE_PSYCHOLOGY] TASK: 1. Diagnose the most likely psychological lever to test (clarity, value framing, urgency, social proof, risk reversal, specificity) and justify the pick. 2. Write a single, falsifiable hypothesis: "Changing [element] from [control] to [variant] will increase [metric] because [psychological reason]." 3. Produce 2 challenger variants that isolate the one variable (so the result is interpretable). 4. Define the success metric, the minimum detectable effect worth caring about, and roughly how much volume/time is needed to call it (state assumptions about baseline rate). 5. List what NOT to change so the test stays clean, and the guardrail metric to watch for unintended harm. OUTPUT FORMAT: - Lever diagnosis + rationale - Single falsifiable hypothesis - Control vs 2 variants (full copy) - Success metric, MDE, sample/time logic with assumptions - Clean-test constraints + guardrail metric CONSTRAINTS: Change only one variable per variant or the result is uninterpretable. Don't test trivial changes (button color) when messaging is the real lever. Be honest that low-volume assets may never reach significance and suggest sequential/qualitative alternatives if so.
