Outcome

>=40% of test group engages with the personalized surface

Leading Indicators

  • Personalization surface engagement rate
  • Personalized vs control retention at 7 days
  • Surface dismissal rate

Instructions

  1. Run user-behavior-segmentation drill: query PostHog for 21 days of per-user events, compute behavioral dimensions (primary workflow, session pattern, collaboration), classify into 3-4 segments, store as PostHog person properties.

  2. Run personalization-rule-engine drill (smoke scope): pick ONE surface (dashboard/home), create PostHog feature flag with multivariate variants per segment, design variant content per segment, add control variant, split 70/30 personalized/control.

  3. Create ONE Intercom in-app message per segment. No email sequences at smoke.

  4. Instrument events: personalization_surface_shown, personalization_surface_engaged, personalization_surface_dismissed. Verify in PostHog Live Events.

  5. Enable feature flag for 50-200 active users via PostHog cohort. Run for 7 days.

  6. Run threshold-engine drill: measure engagement rate >=40% in personalized group, compare vs control (>=5pp lift), guard dismissal rate <40%.

  7. If PASS, proceed to Baseline. If FAIL, diagnose per-segment engagement and iterate on weakest variant.
