You've Read About The Trust Gap
Now Discover Exactly Where It Exists in Your Organization
Impressive Metrics, No Strategic Impact
Your teams run hundreds of experiments with high win rates, but executives still make gut decisions on critical initiatives.
Post-Build Validation Theater
Teams test finished features to justify launches rather than discovering what customers actually need before building.
Governance Bottlenecks
Quality depends on a few experts who become overwhelmed, creating delays and inconsistent standards across teams.

Our proven methodology developed from assessing 200+ experimentation programs over 10 years.
Our rigorous assessment will help you uncover where your organisation is losing money and making bad decisions from faulty experimentation practices.

FAQs
Answers To Questions You're Really Thinking About
The ECQ Audit is specifically designed for senior leaders and experimentation heads—CPOs, VPs of Product, Heads of Experimentation, and Chief Digital Officers. This is a strategic assessment focused on governance and ROI, not a tactical review for practitioners. If you're responsible for the business impact of experimentation, this audit is for you.
The audit works best with sponsorship & participation from the C-level - CMOs, CPO/VP Product, experimentation team leads, data/analytics leaders, and 2-3 senior product managers. We also recommend including a finance stakeholder for ROI validation.
Timeline depends on your organization's size and experimentation complexity. Small to mid-size organizations typically complete in 3-4 weeks. Large enterprises with multiple business units may require 6-8 weeks. Focused programs can sometimes complete in 2-3 weeks. We'll provide a customized timeline during your initial consultation.
Traditional maturity assessments measure activity and tool usage. The ECQ Audit measures whether experiments actually influence strategic decisions and create business value. We look at governance, trust, and implementation fidelity, not just test volume.
Minimal. We need access to documentation, 5-6 hours of stakeholder time for interviews, and examples of recent experiments. Most of the analysis work is done by our team.
Absolutely. The ECQ Audit is tool-agnostic and evaluates your entire ecosystem. We provide recommendations that work with your current stack while identifying opportunities for consolidation or enhancement.
You receive all deliverables and own the roadmap. Many clients engage us for implementation support through the Efestra platform, but it's not required. The roadmap is designed for your team to execute independently if preferred.
