About this project

Senior DS interviews increasingly include "design an A/B testing platform" as a system-design question. This project is the write-up version — a 5-10 page document covering hypothesis tracking, assignment service, metric registration, statistical engine, and the org model. No code required, but the rigor must be senior-level.

Why build this in 2026?

Experimentation platform design is asked in senior DS interviews at Meta, Booking, Netflix, Stripe.
