Every number Kinect reports starts with an A/B split

Vendors in this category advertise guaranteed conversion lifts. Kinect runs an A/B test instead and reports what it shows. This page explains the two rules behind every figure you will see, and the difference between the two kinds of number Kinect reports.
Quick answer
Every store launches behind an A/B split against its own baseline, and results are declared only at statistical significance. An order counts as Kinect-attributed only when the shopper actually engaged before buying. Across live stores, brands with Kinect see 3–6% more revenue, measured against their own baselines.
The two rules under every figure
First, the split. Your store runs behind an A/B test against its own baseline from day one, and nothing is declared until it is statistically significant. Second, attribution. An order is Kinect-attributed only when the shopper sent a message or clicked a recommended product before buying. Widget presence alone never counts, which removes the most common inflation trick in this category.
The two figures, and what each one is
Brands with Kinect see 3–6% more revenue, measured against their own baselines. That is the store-level read from the split. Separately, 6–21% of shoppers who engage with Kinect go on to purchase, which is multiples of a typical site average. That second figure is engaged-cohort behavior, presented as such. Shoppers who choose to engage were always likelier to buy, so cohort conversion is never presented as store-wide causal lift. The published case studies keep the same discipline, engaged-cohort framing on every stat.
What Kinect will not claim
Guaranteed lift percentages. Kinect considers guaranteed CVR claims a category-wide bad habit and does not publish them. Behind the answers themselves, Kinect runs hundreds of evals daily, grading its agents' responses against real store conversations. The full methodology is public at how we measure, and it is written to go into a board deck as-is.
Frequently asked questions
What revenue lift does Kinect deliver?
Across live stores, brands with Kinect see 3–6% more revenue, measured against their own baselines behind an A/B split. Kinect does not publish guaranteed lift figures for any store in advance.
What does engaged-cohort conversion mean?
The purchase rate of shoppers who actually engaged the rep, 6–21% across live stores. It describes that cohort's behavior and is deliberately not presented as store-wide causal lift, because shoppers who engage were likelier buyers to begin with.
When does an order count as Kinect-attributed?
Only when the shopper sent a message or clicked a recommended product before buying. A shopper who bought while the widget merely existed on the page is never counted.
