In this episode, we answer real, unfiltered questions from the CRO and experimentation community. We dig into how far AI can realistically help with experimentation, why revenue metrics like ARPU are a nightmare for MDE calculations, how to handle sketchy interview “audits,” and why ROI conversations never seem to end.No hype. No magic bullets. Just honest perspectives from people actually doing the work.Topics include:
* Where AI helps (and quietly breaks) CRO workflows
* How to think about MDEs for continuous metrics like ARPU
* Making time for research when you’re already drowning
* When “auditing a site” crosses into spec work
* Volume hiring for CRO roles
* Escaping (or not) the endless ROI loop
* Why some CRO agencies don’t have designers
