خلاصه	A single-blind A/B test is a controlled two-condition experiment in which participants are randomised to condition A (control) or condition B (treatment) but are kept unaware of which condition they have received, while researchers and analysts remain aware. The blind prevents participants from changing their behaviour in response to knowledge of their assignment, reducing demand characteristics and response bias while still allowing the investigator to monitor the trial.	An Adaptive A/B test is an experimental design that dynamically reallocates traffic or participants toward better-performing variants during the experiment itself, rather than holding allocations fixed until the end. Drawing on multi-armed bandit algorithms such as Thompson Sampling or Upper Confidence Bound (UCB), it balances the exploration of uncertain variants with the exploitation of those already showing superior performance, typically yielding higher aggregate outcomes while still producing valid inferential conclusions.
