When you shop online, stream a show, or sign up for a new subscription, you’re participating in an invisible process that has shaped the digital economy: A/B and multivariate testing.
These methods let companies experiment with different versions of a digital experience from button colors to page layouts to subscription offers and see in real time what actually works. A retailer might learn that a blue “Buy Now” button outperforms red. A subscription service might discover that offering a pause option instead of a cancellation button saves thousands of customers from churning.
This science of testing has quietly powered the rise of SaaS platforms, e-commerce giants, and personalization engines for more than a decade. According to Grand View Research, the A/B testing software market will exceed $2.7 billion by 2030, growing at double-digit rates. Gartner has gone further, calling A/B and multivariate testing core tools for optimizing customer experience.
At Max AI Holdings, we believe this practice deserves more than technical recognition it deserves digital assurance. That’s why we’re building a portfolio of solutions at the intersection of optimization, compliance, and trust. Leading this effort is Michael A. Echols, a former Homeland Security cyber official who knows firsthand how critical accountability is in digital systems.
What many don’t realize is that this field is rooted in a foundational U.S. patent No. 9,378,505. This invention, enforceable until 2033, describes automated multivariate testing techniques that now underpin how businesses across the world optimize engagement.
We’re proud to be working with global SaaS, e-commerce, and testing vendors to ensure proper licensing of this intellectual property. Our mission is simple: help the world’s digital platforms innovate responsibly while protecting the integrity of the methods that drive billions in digital advertising efficiency and subscription revenue retention each year.
The future of digital engagement will not only be about what works but also about what’s trustworthy. Optimization must go hand in hand with digital assurance.
If you’re a SaaS leader, an e-commerce innovator, or simply someone who wants to understand where customer experience is headed, this conversation is just beginning.
