Minimum Detectable Effect (MDE)
The smallest improvement you want your test to be able to spot.
Before running a test, you decide on the MDE – the smallest change in conversion rate (or other metric) that you'd consider practically meaningful for your business. Setting the MDE helps determine the required sample size and test duration; a smaller MDE requires more traffic or a longer test.
