Measure recommendation engine lift is the extra business value your recommender brings compared to a baseline (no recommendations, popularity-based picks, or an older model).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You measure it through controlled A\/B tests that compare a treatment group seeing the new recommender against a control group, then track lift on revenue per user, click-through rate, conversion, and retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you only remember one thing: lift is a comparison, not a number you can pull from a dashboard in isolation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
