## The panel's verdict

SaleCycle markets itself as an end-to-end CRO platform and delivers client-side A/B testing of page elements — design, content, colours, CTAs, prices and offers — through a single hosted JavaScript tag, with dynamically self-building behavioural segments and real-time personalisation. Scores are strongest on sovereignty, at 4: SaleCycle Limited contracts in Gateshead under English law, with data centres in the EU and the UK, a published sub-processor list and a data processing agreement at Schedule 1, though the notices permit transfers outside the EU under GDPR safeguards. They are weakest on statistical rigour, at 0-1: no captured page names a statistical method or offers sample-size or duration guidance. Consent and tracking scores span 2 to 4, though the rationales agree on the facts beneath them — the cookie notice excludes the cookies the client service sets, and the lawful basis falls to the client as controller. Scores for performance and for data and integrations sit at 1-2, on unquantified performance claims and a generic integrations promise; no public prices appear.

**Speaks for it:**
- Contracting entity is SaleCycle Limited, registered in Gateshead, England, under English law, with data centres in the EU and the UK, a published sub-processor list and a data processing agreement at Schedule 1.
- Client-side A/B testing of design, content, colours, CTAs, prices and offers ships through one hosted JavaScript tag with no IT team required.
- Visitor segments group by behaviour, lifecycle and profile and update dynamically without manual list maintenance.
- ISO 27001:2022 and GDPR compliance are stated on the captured pages.
- A published, auto-generated cookie list gives category, provider, purpose and expiry, with a BEYABLE opt-out URL parameter (#beyable-optout=1).

**Held against it:**
- Statistical rigour scored 0-1: the pages name the metrics measured — conversion rate, time on page, click rate, e-commerce basket amount — but no statistical method, sample size or test duration appears anywhere captured.
- Performance rests on the unquantified claims of an ultra-lightweight script with no impact on performance and no flicker effect, with no published script size or Core Web Vitals figures, while the terms confirm bespoke hosted JavaScript is called on every page load.
- The integrations page promises the product works out of the box with an existing stack, but the judges found no named analytics integration, documented API, or export of results or visitor-level data — results sit in the vendor's dashboard and databases.
- The cookie notice states it does not apply to cookies the client service sets, and obtaining the lawful basis falls to the client as controller.
- No public prices appear; the primary call to action is a personalised demo, and the terms add monthly invoicing, VAT on top and automatic renewal unless stopped with 90 days' written notice.

**Best for:**
- You want a hosted, single-tag setup for client-side testing of design, content, CTAs, prices and offers without an internal IT team.
- Your procurement asks for a UK contracting entity with data centres in the EU and the UK, a published sub-processor list and an incorporated data processing agreement.
- You accept reading results in the vendor's 24/7 real-time dashboard as part of a service that can be 100% delegated, mixed or fully autonomous.
- You are migrating from Google Optimize and want the turnkey migration with onboarding, training and installation the vendor offers.

**Avoid if:**
- You must defend test winners to finance with a documented statistical method, sample sizes and duration guidance.
- You need to re-check every experiment in your own data through a documented API or export, rather than in the vendor's dashboard and databases.
- You must document what the tag does before consent is answered, or need a consent-pending or cookieless mode, before deploying a script the terms say is called on every page load.
- Your page-speed budget requires measured script size or Core Web Vitals figures rather than absolute claims.

## 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.
