Worked Example

End-cap vs. aisle placement across 20 stores

A grocery chain tests two placement strategies for a new snack SKU across 20 stores. 10 stores get end-cap placement, 10 keep the standard aisle shelf. Weekly unit sales are recorded for 8 weeks.

Results: units_sold (weekly)

Aisle shelf (control)

mean: 147 units/wk

95% CI: 131–163

End-cap display

mean: 168 units/wk

95% CI: 152–184

P(end-cap better) = 96%

End-cap placement produces a +14% lift in weekly unit sales (d = +0.71, large effect). At 96% posterior probability, this exceeds the retailer's 90% decision threshold. Recommendation: roll out end-cap placement chain-wide.
