Methodology: WXM, PXL and how we evaluate evidence

The methods behind Mentorele: WXM for structuring CRO work, PXL for prioritization, how statistical tools are validated, and how evidence strength is rated.

WXM structures the work

Every lesson, guide, case study and template maps to a phase of WXM, the Wave Experimentation Model created by Wavesy: Wonder, Architect, Validate, Expand. WXM is a practitioner method, not a peer-reviewed theory; we use it because it reflects how good CRO programs actually operate.

PXL ranks ideas

In the Architect phase we teach PXL, CXL’s prioritization framework, because it rewards research evidence over opinion. We follow CXL’s published criteria and weights and note where teams may customise them.

Statistics tools are tested

Calculators show their formula, assumptions and limits. Their code is unit-tested against independent reference implementations before publication, and the tests run on every change.

Evidence ratings for psychology

Rating Meaning
Strong Replicated across many contexts, including field settings
Moderate Well documented, but effect sizes vary widely by context
Mixed Some failures to replicate or important boundary conditions
Contested Active scientific debate about generality or size

A well-known bias is not proof that it will lift your conversion rate. That is why every principle ends with a testable hypothesis.
