What's Working
- Measurement Foundation (17/20): At least one web data stream active, Key events configured, Google Ads linked (if running Ads), Cross-domain measurement set up (if applicable), Internal traffic filter configured (manual verify)
- Acquisition Quality (15/20): No single channel >70% of sessions, Direct + (not set) below 30% of sessions, All >5% channels produce engaged sessions, 3+ acquisition channels show active users in window
- Conversion Path (15/20): Funnel produces conversions at the bottom, Mobile drop-off comparable to desktop (manual verify), Upper-funnel channels contribute to conversions
Critical Issues
- Conversion Path: Funnel step 'Engaged sessions' → 'Conversions (any key event)' loses 88% of users. This is the biggest leak. _(report: 9_funnel)_
