## The panel's verdict

Crobox B.V., presented as an AI-powered product discovery and guided selling platform, earns its best scores on consent and tracking, where judges' scores cluster at 7-8: with the documented opt-in setting on, no cookies are set before consent, pre-consent events are neither sent, queued, nor counted retroactively, the first-party _crbx cookie carries a 180-day default expiry, local storage resets after 30 minutes of inactivity, and revocation removes the cookie. Experimentation scope sits at 4 with no spread: A/B and multivariate testing of the vendor's own Product Finders with weight-based session allocation and deep rule-based targeting. Statistical rigour runs 3-4 on a named null hypothesis test with a 95 percent significance floor. The weak flank: performance impact scores are 0 — no published script size, loading behaviour, or Core Web Vitals impact — data and integrations run 1-2, with results read in the vendor's own dashboard and integrations gated behind an Account Manager, and sovereignty spans 0-1, with data residency and subprocessors unstated. No criterion showed a marked split among the judges; no prices appear on the public pages.

**Speaks for it:**
- Documented opt-in setting under which no cookies are set before consent and pre-consent events are neither sent, queued, nor counted retroactively.
- First-party _crbx cookie scoped to a single domain with a stated 180-day default expiry, reduced on opt-out to a marker carrying no profile identifier, and removed on revocation.
- A/B and multivariate testing with weight-based session allocation, per-variant editing during a test, and a control group shown invisible messages.
- Rule-based targeting across product, cart, session, visitor and behavioural data, far beyond URL rules.
- Named statistical method — a null hypothesis test with a stated P value of 0.05 and 95 percent significance floor, backed by a public A/B test calculator.

**Held against it:**
- We found no public information on script size, loading behaviour, flicker handling or measured Core Web Vitals impact — performance impact scores sit at 0.
- Results are read in the vendor's own dashboard, and we found no public information on result export, a documented API, or visitor-level data — data and integrations scores run 1-2.
- We found no public information on where visitor data is processed or stored, on subprocessors, or on the contracting entity's confirmed jurisdiction — sovereignty scores span 0-1.
- Testing appears confined to the vendor's own Product Finder experiences, with no public information on server-side or SDK delivery, split-URL tests, feature flags or holdouts.
- We found no public information on confidence intervals, sample-size or duration planning, or protections against peeking and multiple comparisons.

**Best for:**
- You run an ecommerce shop and want to test guided product finders with pre-consent behaviour documented well enough to hand to legal or a DPO.
- You need campaign targeting driven by cart contents and value, product popularity rank, referrer, geo, device and idle time rather than URL rules alone.
- You already hold review data such as Bazaarvoice and want it imported as product properties usable across the vendor's experiences.

**Avoid if:**
- You need to run experiments across arbitrary site surfaces, not just the vendor's own Product Finder experiences.
- You must verify experiment results in your own analytics platform or warehouse before acting on them.
- You cannot add a script to every page without published figures for its size, loading behaviour, or Core Web Vitals impact.
- Your procurement requires confirmed data residency and a published subprocessor list before contracting.

## Scores by judge and criterion

### The judges

- **The Growth Lead** (v1.0): Runs the testing programme for a German marketing team and reports uplift to the board. Wants a visual editor the team can use without a developer, targeting that goes beyond the URL, and results she can defend when finance asks where the promised revenue went.
- **The E-Commerce Manager** (v1.0): Owns a shop where a tenth of a second of load time shows up in the conversion rate. Wants personalisation that can be tested against a control, a snippet that does not flicker the product page, and a traffic-based price that does not jump a tier every December.
- **The Product Engineer** (v1.0): Ships experiments behind feature flags and would rather not ship a third-party script at all. Wants server-side SDKs for the stack in use, edge delivery, metrics computed in the warehouse the team already trusts, and an API good enough to build internal tooling on.
- **The CRO Consultant** (v1.0): Sets up testing programmes for several clients and has to recommend a platform each can afford and defend. Reads for multi-project management, clean analytics integration, a consent setup a client's DPO will sign off, and a traffic metric she can estimate before the contract.
- **The Data Protection Officer** (v1.0): Has to answer whether the test script may run before the consent banner is answered, and usually finds the vendor has not said. Wants the storage keys listed, a documented consent-pending mode, visitor data processed in the EU, and a published subprocessor list that includes the CDN.
- **The Skeptic** (v1.0): 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.
