Our A/B test for the new checkout payment flow is running way too slowly because purchase amount variance is extremely high across users. Can you help redesign this test so we can detect real impact faster? Please return a markdown report formatted as an 'Experiment Sensitivity Plan' that includes the core decision, our current constraint, a table listing recommended changes alongside why they help, requirements, and risks, a metric plan (with primary metric, a more sensitive proxy, guardrails, and minimum detectable effect), a variance reduction breakdown (technique, data needed, validation), and interpretation notes covering what the design can and cannot conclude.

| The document includes the exact section header `## Current Constraint`. | Missed | Passed |
| The plan recommends CUPED variance reduction to address high purchase amount variance. | Passed | Passed |

Use this skill to redesign an experiment so it can detect meaningful effects with fewer users, less time, or clearer metrics. It focuses on minimum detectable effect, metric sensitivity, capping, variant reduction, CUPED, and variance reduction.
Primary source: Next-Level A/B Testing by Leemay Nassery. Guidance is transformed and paraphrased from Chapter 3 on experiment design, sensitive metrics, minimum detectable effect, capping, reducing variants, and CUPED; and Chapter 6 on stratified random sampling and covariate adjustments.
