PM Optimizer results ranking every configuration with confidence ranges

From guessing to a guided search with PM Optimizer

A scenario answers one what-if. PM Optimizer answers the bigger question: out of everything you could change, what is the best you can do? It defines the experiment, searches for the winner, and ranks what it found with the confidence to back it.
