our call

Start with Conductrics — highest vibe code, weakest moat.

Conductrics

Basic split-url testing can be built in a day, but Conductrics is an enterprise decision engine using contextual multi-armed bandits and real-time statistics. Recreating ultra-low latency decisioning without client-side flicker or statistical bias requires significant ongoing backend engineering.

you can rebuild

  • Simple 50/50 client-side redirect and DOM element replacement A/B testing
  • Cookie-based user bucket assignment and persistence
  • Basic event tracking for clicks and checkout conversions
  • Standard URL query parameter and device-type segmentation
  • Conversion rate visualization dashboards

what you lose

  • Contextual multi-armed bandit algorithms for real-time automated traffic optimization
  • Flicker-free edge decisioning integrated with CDN edge workers
  • Automated Sample Ratio Mismatch (SRM) and statistical anomaly detection
  • WYSIWYG visual test creator for non-technical marketing teams
  • Enterprise SOC2 Type II compliance, audit trails, and role-based access control

real moats

  • Sub-30ms global edge decisioning infrastructure
  • Proprietary contextual multi-armed bandit and reinforcement learning algorithms
  • Deep technical lock-in within enterprise application architectures

Convert

Writing a script that flips a coin and alters CSS is trivial, but building a production A/B testing suite is not. Convert handles ultra-fast edge dispatch without page flicker, sample ratio mismatch alerts, and GDPR-compliant cookieless tracking. Self-building the visual editor and statistical engine is inefficient for non-software vendors.

you can rebuild

  • URL split redirects and query parameter routing
  • Basic custom JavaScript and CSS injection per variant
  • Simple 50/50 traffic allocation algorithms
  • Event streaming to Google Analytics 4
  • Basic device and URL path audience targeting

what you lose

  • Visual point-and-click WYSIWYG DOM editor for non-technical users
  • Sub-50ms anti-flicker edge execution logic
  • Automatic Sample Ratio Mismatch (SRM) detection algorithms
  • Cookieless ePrivacy and GDPR strict compliance frameworks
  • Multi-page cross-session variant persistence without third-party tracking cookies

real moats

  • Sub-50ms global CDN edge dispatch preventing page visual flicker
  • Audited statistical significance and sample ratio mismatch calculation engines
  • Deep privacy architecture for cookieless GDPR and CCPA compliance
