Opportunity Sizing and Experimentation Plan for WhatsApp Group Video Calls
Scenario
WhatsApp is considering launching a new group video-call feature (not currently available).
Questions
-
Using available call-level data, outline how you would determine whether there is demand for group video calls.
-
What additional quantitative and qualitative data would you request, and how would you analyze it?
-
After launch, list success and guard-rail metrics. If you could keep only one success metric, which one and why?
-
Before launch, engineering asks for an experiment design. Describe step-by-step how you would run and analyze the test, including:
-
Randomization unit
-
Clustering to reduce spill-over
-
Novelty effects
-
Criteria for statistical and business significance
Hint: Frame the analysis as opportunity sizing → metric hierarchy → clustered A/B test design → interpretation of lift vs. risk.
