Your campaign has four creative variants, a finite budget, and three weeks to generate qualified pipeline. An A\/B test can compare them cleanly. However, it may keep sending equal traffic to weak options while the test runs.<\/p>\n

Adaptive testing with bandits<\/strong> offers another path. It shifts more traffic toward variants producing better observed rewards while preserving some exploration. That can reduce wasted opportunities, but it changes what you can confidently learn.<\/p>\n

The practical answer is straightforward. Use a bandit when live allocation is the main objective, feedback arrives quickly, and mistakes are reversible. Use an A\/B test when causal learning matters more. Choose a staged hybrid when you need both.<\/p>\n
