Find Drop-Offs with Conversion Math That Matters

Calculate each stage conversion and include uncertainty. A 3% change can be noise in small samples. Size matters—present counts, percentages, and intervals to prevent premature optimization.

Find Drop-Offs with Conversion Math That Matters

Multiply potential uplift by traffic volume to find high-leverage steps. Improving a mid-funnel gate serving thousands can outperform perfecting a tiny top-of-funnel widget.

Find Drop-Offs with Conversion Math That Matters

Where do most clients vanish in your journey? Comment with the exact stage transition, and we will suggest a quick diagnostic to validate causes before testing solutions.

Segment and Cohort for Real Insight

Compare organic research queries versus high-intent branded ads. The same funnel can behave utterly differently by channel, exposing where education or urgency messaging truly belongs.

Test Hypotheses Inside the Funnel

Use an ICE-style scoring model across ideas. Prioritize tests at high-traffic, high-drop steps where your hypothesis explains why clients hesitate at that moment, not in general.

Track trial-to-paid and churn next to click-through gains. A bright button that pushes unqualified signups can inflate vanity numbers while quietly harming real business outcomes.

Five-Interview Insight that Changed Onboarding

After five quick interviews, a fintech learned clients feared syncing bank data. A trust-building explainer and security badge near the connect button boosted completion dramatically.

On-Page Surveys that Respect Momentum

Trigger a single, contextual question at friction points. Ask what almost stopped them, then use those precise words in microcopy to reassure the next visitor at the same step.

Forecast, Monitor, and Alert Proactively

Time-to-Conversion as a Health Signal

Chart how long clients sit at each stage. Expanding dwell times often precede conversion drops. Intervene with timely nudges before revenue impacts become visible in monthly reports.

Anomaly Detection that Saves Campaigns

Set thresholds on critical stages and alert owners in minutes, not weeks. Rapid responses to broken links, mis-tagged events, or slow pages preserve hard-won demand.
