Methodology

Evaluator doctrine

How Revenue Engine is interpreted

This layer exists to explain how GrowthBooks reads evidence without changing how the evaluator itself behaves.

Revenue Engine is a deterministic evaluator. The doctrine layer explains meaning and confidence but does not alter outputs or scoring behavior.

  • GrowthBooks identifies the highest-impact revenue blocker before recommendations are generated.
  • Observed friction is weighted above assumptions.
  • Evidence quality determines confidence.
  • Weak signals are treated as structural until new proof changes the score.
