Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Skeptic

Weighted verdict

A statistician who has watched too many "winners" regress to zero. Reads for the method by name, what stops a team from peeking, sample ratio mismatch checks and multiple-comparison corrections — and treats a "probability to beat" without documented assumptions as marketing.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Scored by The Skeptic

Experiment types & delivery

How this is scored

What can be tested and where: client-side changes through an editor, server-side and feature experiments through SDKs, multivariate and multi-page tests, and personalisation — judged on what the documentation shows rather than on the feature grid.

0 — Simple A/B split of one page element through a visual editor; no server-side option, no targeting beyond URL.

3 — Client-side A/B and split-URL tests with basic audience targeting, and no SDK or server-side delivery.

5 — Client-side and server-side experiments through documented SDKs for common languages, multivariate and multi-page tests, audience targeting on behaviour and attributes, and rule-based personalisation.

8 — Feature-flag-based experiments sharing one audience and metric model with web tests, mutually exclusive experiment groups, holdouts, edge or CDN delivery, and personalisation that can itself be tested against a control.

10 — One experimentation programme across every surface: web, app, server and edge from the same platform, experiment interactions managed, a documented experiment lifecycle from hypothesis to archived result, and a library of past results a team can search.

Report an error

The Skeptic

The captured guide pages define A/B, split, funnel and multivariate testing as methods and describe monitoring tests run in AB Tasty, Omniconvert and Optimizely — the testing itself happens elsewhere. We found no public information on Contentsquare delivering its own experiments of any type: no editor, no experiment SDK, no targeting model, and personalisation appears only as a possible downstream use of the data. 7 2 1

Statistical method & guardrails

How this is scored

Which statistics decide the winner and what protects the customer from misreading them. Scored on what the vendor documents: the method by name, how peeking and multiple comparisons are handled, and whether sample ratio mismatch is detected.

0 — A "winner" or "probability to beat" figure with no documented method, no stated sample-size guidance and no warning against stopping early.

3 — The method is named (frequentist or Bayesian) but its assumptions are not documented, and nothing prevents a test from being called while it is still underpowered.

5 — Documented method with confidence or credible intervals, a sample-size or test-duration calculator, and stated guidance on when a result may be read.

8 — Sequential testing or an equivalent documented protection against peeking, correction for multiple metrics or variants, sample ratio mismatch detection, variance reduction such as CUPED, and guardrail metrics that can stop a harmful test.

10 — The statistics are auditable: methodology published in enough detail to reproduce a result, the choice of method explained per use case, raw per-visitor data available for independent re-analysis, and the interface refuses to present an underpowered result as a conclusion.

Report an error

The Skeptic

The only quantitative outcome in the evidence is a bare 6.8% conversion lift with no documented method, no interval, no sample-size guidance and no warning against stopping early — a winner figure without assumptions is marketing, not statistics. We found no public information on any statistical method for testing on the vendor's pages. 13 7

Consent & visitor tracking

How this is scored

Whether the test script respects §25 TDDDG and the ePrivacy rules as evidenced on the vendor's own pages: when the script runs relative to consent, what it stores on the device, whether a cookieless or consent-free mode exists, and how visitor identifiers are handled.

0 — Nothing on the vendor's pages says what the script stores on the device or whether it runs before consent; consent is described as the customer's problem.

3 — Cookies or local storage are listed, and a consent integration is mentioned, but the documentation does not say what the script does before consent is given.

5 — Documented behaviour before and after consent, integration with common consent management platforms, a published list of cookies and storage keys with their lifetime, and IP anonymisation described.

8 — A documented consent-pending mode that holds tracking until consent while variants can still be served, a cookieless or first-party-only option, retention of visitor data stated, and guidance on the legal basis for testing in the EU.

10 — Built for §25 TDDDG: the default configuration stores nothing on the device without consent, a server-side or cookieless mode documented end to end, per-visitor data deletable on request, and the vendor states in writing how each mode maps to consent requirements.

Report an error

The Skeptic

A published cookie inventory with lifetimes, first-party-only storage, four documented consent states that fully mask sessions without consent, an opt-out command, thirteen-month retention and a written legal position including a France-only Exemption Mode — more than most vendors show. Docked because we found no public information on consent-management-platform integration, IP anonymisation, or a mode that holds tracking until consent rather than masking after the fact. 9 8 4

Snippet performance & flicker

How this is scored

The cost the client-side snippet imposes on the page it tests: blocking load, flicker of original content, script weight and the effect on Core Web Vitals — scored on what the vendor measures and publishes, not on "lightning fast".

0 — A synchronous snippet with no stated size, no flicker handling and no mention of performance.

3 — An anti-flicker snippet that hides the page until the test loads, with a timeout, and no published figures for script size or load cost.

5 — Script size and loading behaviour documented, asynchronous loading option, flicker handling explained with its trade-off, and CDN delivery of the snippet.

8 — Published performance figures including impact on Core Web Vitals, a self-hosting or first-party-domain option for the script, per-project bundles containing only active experiments, and a server-side or edge alternative for flicker-sensitive tests.

10 — Performance is a stated commitment: measured overhead published and maintained, flicker eliminated by edge or server-side rendering as a documented path, and tooling that shows the customer what their own configuration costs the page.

Report an error

The Skeptic

Measured figures are published, not asserted: a 2.5 KB gzipped tag deferred in the head, a fifteen-minute browser cache, batched requests typically under 500 bytes, and named Core Web Vitals effects with device-conditioned ranges for blocking time, plus a benchmarked mobile SDK with its test conditions stated. We found no public information on a self-hosting option, per-project bundles or a server-side delivery path. 11 10

Analytics, data export & integrations

How this is scored

Getting results and raw data out: integration with analytics and tag management, export of visitor-level results, warehouse-native analysis, and an API — because an experiment result that cannot be checked in the customer's own data is a claim, not a finding.

0 — Results visible in the vendor's dashboard only; no export, no analytics integration, no API.

3 — CSV export of aggregated results and one analytics integration, with no visitor-level data and no documented API.

5 — Integrations with common analytics and tag managers, export of results, and a documented API for managing experiments and reading results.

8 — Visitor-level raw data export or streaming to a data warehouse, warehouse-native analysis on the customer's own metrics, CDP integration for audiences, and an API with stated limits.

10 — The platform treats the customer's warehouse as the source of truth: metrics defined once and computed there, full historical experiment data exportable in open formats, and a versioned API a team can build its own programme tooling on.

Report an error

The Skeptic

Warehouse sync to Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, Redshift and S3 with retroactive backfill, and named analytics integrations with Google, Adobe and Piano, make results checkable in the customer's own data. We found no public information on CDP integration, stated API limits, or export of full historical data in open formats. 13 9 2 12

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where visitor data is processed and stored and who the contracting entity is. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; weighted higher here than in categories that hold only the customer's own data, because the script runs on every visitor to the customer's site and their behaviour is what the platform records.

0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and visitor data leaving the EU without a stated safeguard.

3 — EU data residency offered as an option or an enterprise add-on while the contracting entity is non-EU, or the subprocessor list is absent.

5 — EU processing of visitor data as standard and an EU contracting entity, but parts of the chain — CDN, support access, analytics — are non-EU without an explained safeguard.

8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure including the delivery of the snippet, EU contracting entity, subprocessor list published, and a DPA covering the visitor data the script collects.

10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, entity, hosting, snippet delivery and every subprocessor European, certification published, and no visitor data reaching a non-EU party at any point.

Report an error

The Skeptic

The contracting side is European — Content Square SAS headquartered in France, a published Data Processing Agreement, and Standard Contractual Clauses deemed executed on signature — but the capturing found no hosting location for visitor data and no subprocessor list, so the processing chain behind the tag cannot be verified from public pages. 5 4 11

Pricing transparency

How this is scored

A category priced by traffic — monthly tracked users, visitors or impressions — where the tier a site lands in depends on numbers the buyer has to estimate. Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost including traffic limits, overage, server-side or personalisation modules and seats — from public pages alone.

0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.

3 — A starting price or a free tier exists, but the traffic metric, the limits and what happens above them are unstated — the invoice is unknowable.

5 — Tier prices public with the traffic metric and its limits defined, but at least one commonly needed piece (server-side SDKs, personalisation, overage) is unpriced or "contact sales".

8 — Every tier priced publicly with the traffic metric defined, limits, overage rates, module prices, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.

10 — Complete price computability: annual invoice derivable for a given traffic volume, set of modules and team size, with overage and every add-on published.

Report an error

The Skeptic

A free tier at $0 and one published price — Voice of Customer Growth at $79 with 500 monthly responses — sit beside monthly-session limits per tier, overage invoiced at an unpublished rate, annual invoicing in advance, ninety-day renewal notice and taxes excluded. The paid analytics tiers themselves are all "Let's talk", so the real annual invoice for the core products is not computable from public pages. 2 4 13
