What the path includes

A conversion path is an ordered set of meaningful states: arrival, orientation, commitment signal, and fulfillment. Analytics becomes “path analytics” when each state is instrumented, named, and compared across cohorts.

Why averages mislead

Blended conversion rates hide payment branches, device splits, and invite-driven entries. Path practice forces those cuts early so teams stop “optimizing” a fiction.

Three practices we teach

Gravity mapping

Estimate which steps pull users forward versus eject them sideways into help or exit.

Event honesty

Verify that conversion events fire once, with properties that survive a skeptical review.

Account for Thailand-specific nodes: PromptPay, COD promises, LINE support handoffs.
