HN discussionKeep in mind that Frequent A/B tests burn statistical “credit.” Any time you ship a winner at p = 0.05 you’ve spent 5 % of your false-positive budget.

It's an innovation that reduces inter-organizat…

HN discussionI work at Statsig and we built it recently: https://statsig.com/updates/update/stratified-sampling . Definitely still some internal systems that are way ahead of SaaS but we're seeing more companies ditch internal builds for us.
