Decision Framework

Use a structured decision framework in Statsig to evaluate experiment results, including success criteria, ship versus iterate logic, and reviewer sign-off.

A decision framework standardizes how teams interpret experiment results and decide which group to ship. After you configure a decision framework, it recommends a ship action based on how your primary and guardrail metrics move. The decision framework highlights recommended actions but doesn't enforce them.

Configure a decision framework

To configure a Decision Framework, find the experiment template you want under SettingsTemplates, then navigate to the Decision Framework tab. Select one primary metric and one or more guardrail metrics to choose a recommended action based on metric performance.

Team-level Templates Settings

You can configure three types of recommendations:

  • Rollout Winning Group: An icon appears next to the winning group in the Make Decision button.
  • Discuss: A message appears on the experiment page recommending discussion before making a ship decision.
  • Do Not Roll Out: An icon appears next to the control group in the Make Decision button.

Reviews for shipping negative results

Configure reviewers for when a shipping decision doesn't align with the Decision Framework recommendations. Toggle on "Require reviews when decision opposes recommended decision" and add reviewers in the dialog box.

recommendation

After setup, Statsig requires a review in the following situations:

  • Rollout Winning Group: Shipping a treatment group that isn't recommended
  • Discuss: Shipping any treatment group
  • Do Not Roll Out: No review required
