Short answer

It is a small-company cut — 8 companies — so read the mix as a few heavy testers like Apple TV+ source[1]source[2].

The finding: hero-led with an even offer/pricing tail
Entertainment contributes 109 annotations across 51 experiments and 8 companies source[1]. Its top areas are HERO (26), OFFER (16), and PRICING (15) — a hero-led shape with offer and pricing close behind source[1]. With only 8 companies, this cut leans on a small set of prolific testers; Apple TV+ appears among the corpus's top testers source[2].
Entertainment top tested areas
Cells with n>=8 source[1]:
| Area | Annotations |
|---|---|
| HERO | 26 |
| OFFER | 16 |
| PRICING | 15 |
The hero splits roughly evenly across web and mobile corpus-wide (272 web / 216 mobile), so entertainment hero tests could be on either surface source[3].
How to apply it
For a streaming or entertainment product, the peer pattern is hero-first, with offer and pricing as near-equal secondary bets source[1]. Because offer and pricing carry the highest high-impact shares corpus-wide, treat the hero as the frequency lever and the paywall offer/price as the yield lever source[4]. Keep hero tests focused on the value promise that justifies the subscription source[1].
Caveats
109 annotations from just 8 companies is a thin, concentrated cut — illustrative only source[2]. Only n>=8 cells are shown source[1]. Impact shares are model-assigned relative rankings, not lift source[4].
