Looks great! I left a few minor suggestions


The width of the bar represents uncertainty. A narrower bar means we're more confident in that result, while a wider bar means it could shift either way.

The control (baseline) is always shown in gray. Other bars will be green or red—or even a mix—depending on whether the change is positive or negative.

What do you think about putting "Shared metrics" on a separate page so it's visible in the navigation? Not a strong opinion, though.

There is too little here at the moment I think. If/when there are some more shared metrics features, we can split it out.

**Secondary metrics** provide more context for your experiment. They can help you understand the impact of your primary metric and ensure your experiment didn't have negative side effects.
