This post is a primer on the delightful world of testing and experimentation (A/B, Multivariate, and a new term from me: Experience Testing). Experimentation and testing help us figure out we are wrong, quickly and repeatedly and if you think about it that is a great thing for our customers, and for our employers.

It similarly codes the query as a vector and then uses a distance metric to find nearby vectors in the multi-dimensional space to find matches. However, not all customers who have the opportunity to benefit from k-NN have adopted it, due to the significant engineering effort and resources required to do so.

Yes, I worry that Analysts, and Marketers, are spending too much time with their head buried in custom reports and advance segments and smart calculated metrics and strategic or tactical dashboards. Lab usability testing and online surveys both provide great strategies to obsess about user centric design. My idea today is even simpler.
