Current Public Portal key figures
April:
• 29,705 Sessions
• 12,600 Users
• 106,876 Page Views
• 3.60 Pages per Session
• Avg. Session Duration – 00:05:22
Conversion rate is the percentage of Public Portal visits resulted in a conversion according to the goal.
1. View of a public bidding announcement – 70.42%
2. Jumps to Platform – 5.54%
Based on the graph for the last 4 months we can see that the percentage of views of the announcement of public bidding (auction page visits) is constantly growing https://gyazo.com/9adac8628c4464505d77fc19d2905b7d
Based on this data it makes sense to work on Portal site sessions and visits of the Platform (development of Auction page) and not alter other parts of the Portal yet.
Examples of proposals for implementation and testing
Lot Page
1. Display a proposal to go to a poll for users who saw a few pages and did not go to the Platform

1. Settings are already in the admin part of the website, display according to the settings.
Auction Emulator
It is needed to develop an interactive simulation of the current auction model. The task below is not final and may change.
1. When clicking on the link a Participant gets to the page where the initial lot cost is demonstrated (X, accidentally formed within the Z + -15%) and he is offered to make a closed price quotation / sealed bid (> = X)
2. After entering a closed price quotation the Participant gets to a page similar to the existing auction module (link).
1. In addition to the participant two bots take part in the auction. Both bots make a closed price quotation in size (B).
1. Bot 1 can go in all three rounds of the electronic auction, but may not increase the initial cost of lot (X) more than (A) percent for all three rounds of the auction. Thus, each round he increases the last biggest known proposal by (B) percent. Moreover, if the increase is not possible (X + A <X + B1 + B2 + B3), Bot 1 stops betting.
2. Bot 2 can go in all three rounds of auctions with probability of (C) percent. Bot 2 ties to the last biggest known proposal by (B) percent. If Bot 2 stops going in any round, he ends his participation in the auction so that his bid is not changed in each subsequent round.
2. Round time for the Participant is 3 minutes. Round time for Bot 1 and Bot 2 is 5 seconds. The pause between rounds is 5 seconds.
1. If the Participant made a bid in less than 3 minutes, his bid is accepted, and the next participant gets a turn (Bot 1 or Bot 2).
3. During the auction the Participant or the Bots cannot bid less than they previously did + the minimum step. The participant can skip a step and then his bid will be considered as the one made in the previous round or a closed price quotation (depending which occurred later).
4. There are 3 rounds of auctions.
5. At the end a general rating is formed on the auctions page from the highest to the lowest bids, Bots get deanonymized. When bids are the same, the preference is given to the one that was made earlier.
Constants:
• X – the initial cost of a lot
• Z – constant for the formation of the initial cost of a lot
• A – ultimate limit of the percentage increase for quotation by Bot 1
• B – percentage limit of Bot 1 and Bot 2 increment size
• C – Bot 1 and Bot 2 increment size probability
• D – minimum auction increment size is 1% of X.
