Founding pilot · B2B SaaS

Run more growth experiments.
Without more headcount.

Crux turns growth opportunities into structured paid acquisition and landing-page experiments, then tracks what worked and what to test next. You approve every experiment before launch.

Example experiment

Ready for review
Growth constraint

Paid search sends high-intent traffic, but only 2.8% request a demo.

Experiment: Test security-first positioning

Control vs security-first landing page, qualified demo request as the primary metric.

From ideas
to evidence

Crux gives a small SaaS team a repeatable experimentation process without hiring a full growth function.

See the workflow

Typical workflow

  • Ideas sit in a backlog
  • Tests take weeks to set up
  • Learning lives across docs
  • No consistent prioritisation
  • The same debates repeat

Crux pilot

  • One ranked experiment queue
  • Ready-to-run test plans
  • One evidence trail
  • Clear success metrics
  • Each result informs the next test

One focused loop, repeated.

Start narrow: one goal, one channel, one conversion surface. Prove the loop before automating more.

  1. 01

    Connect

    Bring one growth goal, one acquisition channel, your landing page and baseline data.

  2. 02

    Diagnose

    Identify the biggest bottleneck and the highest-value hypothesis to test.

  3. 03

    Design

    Create the audience, message, offer, page variant and success metric.

  4. 04

    Approve

    Review the experiment, budget and guardrails before anything changes.

  5. 05

    Measure

    Track results against the baseline and stop weak variants quickly.

  6. 06

    Learn

    Record the outcome, update what Crux knows, and choose the next test.

The founding pilot is intentionally narrow.

We are not trying to automate your entire growth stack on day one. We focus on one measurable acquisition and conversion loop, then expand only if it works.

Your growth learning compounds.

Crux keeps the hypothesis, evidence and decision together, so every experiment improves what you test next.

See the evidence model

Hypothesis

Security-first messaging will convert more high-intent traffic than generic productivity messaging.

Starting confidence 55%

Evidence

Variant B increased qualified demo requests from 2.8% to 4.1% over the test window.

Sources

Decision

Keep the winning message, roll it into paid search, then test proof and objection handling next.

Status Next test ready

You stay in control.
Crux keeps the process moving.

The MVP is deliberately human-approved. You set the goal, budget, brand rules and success metric before any experiment runs.

  • Goal

    Choose one measurable commercial outcome for the pilot.

    Focus1 growth goal
  • Budget

    Set the amount Crux is allowed to use for approved tests.

    LimitSet by you
  • Approval

    Nothing launches until you have reviewed the experiment.

    DefaultHuman sign-off
  • Guardrails

    Define brand, audience, claims and risk boundaries up front.

    AppliedEvery test
  • Measurement

    Agree the baseline and success metric before the test starts.

    ReviewWeekly

Prove the growth loop
before we automate the rest.

We are opening three founding-pilot places for B2B SaaS teams that already have traffic, data and a growth question worth testing.
