Overview
What this challenge is about.
Experimental Design for a Fintech App's Savings Nudge. Expert-level challenge in research. Conducting rigorous research on real questions, earn a blockchain-...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Determine whether a 'future self' nudge significantly increases savings rate and retention compared to a control group.
This is not a research exercise. It is the work a researcher does to produce findings that withstand scrutiny. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates summarize papers and none who have produced original findings under expert review.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Design a rigorous field experiment in a business context
- Apply temporal discounting and future self-continuity theory
- Analyze experimental data using appropriate statistical methods
- Translate behavioral findings into actionable business decisions
