English term or phrase: bias the test upwards
A PSA (public service announcement) test methodology works well when A and B populations are unknown,
such as when running a campaign against populations that have never
been to your website. This method has an appealing
characteristic: one could compare the population of actually-exposed
users in Group A with actually-exposed (PSA viewers) in Group B. The PSA is often
served to low performing users, which
lets vendors bias the test upwards.

Seria algo como "deturpar o teste com valores superiores"? Obrigada desde já.
