- **Attribution risk:** Public case studies do not include full A/B methodology details (test vs control, duration, traffic split, or statistical confidence), so reported uplifts may be influenced by seasonality, promotions, or concurrent site changes.
- **Selection bias:** Case studies tend to highlight favorable outcomes.
- **Integration vs tuning:** Reported "integration" and "go-live" timelines may refer to initial deployment steps rather than extended tuning and optimization required to reach sustained performance.
Recommended diligence: Request experiment design details, baseline metrics and time windows, bot/internal traffic handling procedures, and how incremental lift is measured.
