Online controlled experiments (A/B tests) are fundamental to data-driven decision-making in the digital economy. However, their real-world application is frequently compromised by two critical shortcomings: the use of statistically flawed heuristics like "p-value peeking", which inflates false positive rates, and an over-reliance on proxy metrics like conversion rates, which can lead to decisions that inadvertently harm core business profitability. This paper addresses these challenges by introducing a comprehensive and scalable Bayesian decision framework designed for profit optimization in multi-variant (A/B/n) experiments. We propose a hierarchical Bayesian model that simultaneously estimates the probability of conversion (using a Beta-Bernoulli model) and the monetary value of that conversion (using a robust Bayesian model for the mean transaction value). Building on this, we employ a decision-theoretic stopping rule based on Expected Loss, enabling experiments to be concluded not only when a superior variant is identified but also when it becomes clear that no variant offers a practically significant improvement (stopping for futility). The framework successfully navigates "revenue traps" where a variant with a higher conversion rate would have resulted in a net financial loss, correctly terminates futile experiments early to conserve resources, and maintains strict statistical integrity throughout the monitoring process. Ultimately, this work provides a practical and principled methodology for organizations to move beyond simple A/B testing towards a mature, profit-driven experimentation culture, ensuring that statistical conclusions translate directly to strategic business value.
