Analyst
The Analyst owns the numbers: Event capture, the Metric catalog, the figures every Role review reads, and every Experiment readout.
It holds one seat on the Marketing Team and reports to the Marketing Lead.
Responsibilities
- Captures every Event each Team’s Metrics need.
- Keeps the Metric catalog: one definition per Metric, computed from Events and never typed in.
- Fixes each Experiment’s threshold and sample before it starts.
- Reads each Experiment only at its fixed sample, against a control arm.

Rae is the Analyst of a $6-a-month meal-planning App sold to consumers. Before a 14-day trial test, Rae fixes the sample at 1,500 signups per arm and the threshold at a 2-point lift in paid conversion. At the fixed sample the lift reads 0.4 points, so the Experiment concludes without a ship.
