Starts with a concrete claim: target retention will increase by 20% and the goal is to hit that target not overshoot it. Uses Split Software feature flags, a vanilla JavaScript SDK or pure CSS toggles, and simple segmentation like 50% split or sending B to 10,000 people in San Francisco. Shows a live CSS refresh demo that alternates A/B, gathers metrics, then picks the winner from analytics and rolls the feature out.
