Vanguard CX A/B Test , Is a UI Redesign Worth It?

Team project (Ironhack). My role: Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), hypothesis testing (two-proportion z-test + confidence intervals), and business recommendations.

We tested a new UI for Vanguard to see if it actually improves customer experience.
KPIs: Completion Rate, Error Rate, Time per Step.
Business bar: +5% completion uplift.

Who is the client?

Vanguard is one of the world’s most respected investment management companies.

Client intro


Business case

Vanguard considered redesigning its onboarding UI to make the process smoother and encourage higher client conversion.
Key question: Is the redesign worth the investment?

Business case


Data pipeline

We collected four datasets, cleaned and merged them into one.
Steps included: renaming columns, removing duplicates/invalid values, and dropping nulls in key variables.

Data cleaning


Are groups comparable? (EDA)

Control and Test groups had similar demographics.

  • Age ~48 years on average
  • Tenure mostly 5–15 years
  • Gender distribution balanced

This means the A/B test is valid and representative.

EDA clients


One key result

✅ Completion improved (+3.7 pp).
❌ Error rate also increased (+3.4 pp).

Users finished more often, but with more mistakes.

Error rate


Results in numbers

Metric Control Test Δ (Test – Control)
Completion % 65.6 69.3 +3.7 pp
Error rate % 34.4 37.8 +3.4 pp
Avg. time Mixed Mixed Faster at Step 2 & 3, slower at Confirm

Hypothesis testing

  • Null (H0): No improvement in completion.
  • Alt (H1): Test has higher completion.
  • Result: Statistically significant (p < 0.001).
  • But: Business threshold of +5% uplift was not reached.

Recommendations

  1. Do not roll out the redesign fully yet.
  2. Optimize Step 1 and Confirm page (too slow, more hesitation).
  3. Keep the improvements from Step 2 and Step 3.
  4. Re-run the experiment after fixes.

Tools & Collaboration
