meta_create_test

Commit to a Next test: it becomes a Test whose intent is FROZEN — hypothesis, reference, keep / change, funnel, goal, and the rule that will judge it (comparator, the expected volume it needs before judging, how long it waits for late conversions, how long it runs) — with the evidence it was decided on.

write meta_create_test

Commit to a Next test: it becomes a Test whose intent is FROZEN — hypothesis, reference, keep / change, funnel, goal, and the rule that will judge it (comparator, the expected volume it needs before judging, how long it waits for late conversions, how long it runs) — with the evidence it was decided on. Pass the Next test's nextTestId with the same window / funnel it was computed in; or, for an idea no Next test proposed, custom with its title, hypothesis, what to try and the evidence it rests on. Comparator baseline (default) holds the test to the cost per goal the decision was made on; reference races it against the reference creative's ads over the same days — only if both run. A changed mind is a new test with supersedesId, never an edit. The brief it judges (briefId, or the Next test's saved brief) is linked to it and becomes learned when it concludes. Touches nothing on Meta. A Test spends nothing: its ads are launched PAUSED with its testId, and its outcome is recorded as Observations.
