Evaluate Impact of New Roblox Homepage Tab

RobloxData Scientist · Technical Screen

Last updated

Roblox data scientist experimentation prompt on evaluating a new homepage tab, including hypotheses, engagement funnel metrics, guardrails, power, duration, segmentation, cannibalization, and rollout criteria.

Scenario

Roblox plans to replace an existing homepage tab with a new one and needs to measure the business impact of this change.

Question

If Roblox replaces an existing homepage tab with a new one, how would you evaluate its impact? Which primary and guardrail metrics would you track, and what hypotheses would you state? Design an experiment or analysis plan outlining sample size, duration, segmentation, and success criteria.

Hints

Think engagement funnel (CTR, session length, retention), controlled A/B test design, power analysis, guardrails, and potential confounders.
