Team-Matching Funnel: Metrics, Targets, and a 14-Day Experiment Plan

Context

You are designing analytics for a recruiting "team-matching" funnel that moves candidates from an introduction to a recruiter, to a meeting, and ultimately to a match with a team. Assume you can track timestamps for outreach and responses, and that you can run an A/B test across incoming candidate intros for 14 days.

Task

1. Define the key funnel and timing metrics:
   • Intro-to-meeting conversion
   • Meeting-to-match conversion
   • Overall match rate
   • Average response time and its variance
2. Set reasonable weekly targets for these metrics (state assumptions if needed).
3. Propose a 14-day experiment to improve match rate by testing two recruiter outreach sequences (A/B):
   • Describe arms, eligibility, randomization, and guardrails.
   • Specify success metrics (primary/secondary), minimal detectable effect (MDE), sample size assumptions, decision boundaries, and what you will do if preliminary results are inconclusive.
