A sensible way to test
- Start narrow. One city and one service category.
- Change one lever at a time, using the settings and coupons already built.
- Watch the basics: completion rate, repeat bookings, cancellations, expert retention and cost per acquired booking.
- Build the missing levers only when the built ones show demand.
