```python
import metricax.bayesian as mb

# Update beliefs with conversion data
control = mb.update_beta_binomial(1, 1, 12, 108)    # 12/120 conversions
treatment = mb.update_beta_binomial(1, 1, 15, 85)   # 15/100 conversions

print(f"Control: {mb.beta_mean(*control):.1%}")     # 10.0%
print(f"Treatment: {mb.beta_mean(*treatment):.1%}") # 15.7%
# Treatment shows 57% relative improvement!
```
