Control: Variant D, "Get Crispy Skin with Least Effort: 4 Chicken Thigh Methods Tested" - It is chosen as the control because it scored the highest in the weighted total, indicating it balances the dimensions of curiosity, clarity, SEO, and click-through potential effectively for the YouTube platform.
Challengers:
- Variant B, "The 16-Minute Chicken Thigh Showdown: Which Method Wins?" - It made the list because it creates curiosity about the outcome, offering a different approach from the control by focusing on the competitive aspect of the comparison. The single variable it changes most is the introduction of a competitive element ("Showdown"), which could attract viewers looking for a more engaging comparison. If this variant wins, the creator learns that their audience is highly motivated by curiosity and the promise of a definitive outcome, indicating that framing content as a comparison or competition could be effective.
- Variant F, "Why Your Air Fryer Might Not Be the Best Way to Cook Chicken Thighs" - It is included because it introduces a contrarian view, challenging the common assumption that the air fryer is the best method for cooking chicken thighs. The single variable it changes is the introduction of a controversial or unexpected claim, which could attract viewers who are open to reevaluating their cooking methods.
Control: Get Crispy Skin with Least Effort: 4 Chicken Thigh Methods Tested
Challengers:
- The 16-Minute Chicken Thigh Showdown: Which Method Wins? - changes the introduction of a competitive element.
- Why Your Air Fryer Might Not Be the Best Way to Cook Chicken Thighs - changes the introduction of a contrarian view.
Primary hypothesis: Changing the title to introduce a competitive element or a contrarian view will improve click-through rate because it adds an engaging aspect that motivates viewers to watch the video.
What changed: The single dominant variable per challenger is the introduction of a competitive element in Variant B and a contrarian view in Variant F.
Primary metric: ctr - click-through rate.
Guardrail metric: average_view_duration_or_first_30s_retention - average view duration, or first 30-second retention.
Test window: At least 7 days, or until each variant has meaningful impression volume, aiming for around 1000 impressions per variant where possible.
Success criteria: A statistically significant increase in click-through rate without a decrease in average view duration or first 30-second retention.
Confounders: The test will not identify which change moved the number if thumbnail_changing is true. A test running across a holiday, a launch, or an algorithm shift is not a clean comparison.

Questions
What is a credit?
The unit a run is priced in. Each app has a fixed price in credits, shown on its Generate button, and a run costs exactly that. Nothing is metered by length or time.
Am I charged if a run fails?
No. Starting a run holds the credits rather than spending them. The hold becomes a charge only when the run succeeds; a failed or cancelled run releases it.
Can I edit the brief and run it again?
Yes. Change any input and press Generate again, or open an earlier run and choose Adjust and run again to start from a copy of its brief. Uploaded files need attaching again. Each run is new and costs the applet's price; the earlier run stays as it was.
Where are my results kept?
Every run you start is listed under Your runs at /create/runs. Each one opens its own page, where you can read, copy and download the files it produced.
