Recommended workflow

1. Step 1: Define hypothesis and success metrics
2. Step 2: Calculate required sample size
3. Step 3: Design randomization strategy
4. Step 4: Set up guardrail metrics
5. Step 5: Implement feature flagging
6. Step 6: Configure monitoring and alerting
7. Step 7: Execute experiment
8. Step 8: Analyze with proper statistical tests
9. Step 9: Document results and learnings
