Funnel Friction Diagnostic
Targeted step-by-step drop-off inspection for conversion, onboarding, and multi-stage verification workflows.
Service Overview
The Funnel Friction Diagnostic focuses exclusively on a single high-value sequence within your application: multi-step checkout, user registration and team invitation, subscription upgrades, or identity verification workflows.
Standard funnel metrics display the aggregate drop-off percentage between Step A and Step B. Our diagnostic analyzes what users actually do during the transition window: identifying hesitation intervals, excessive back-and-forth navigation between tabs, silent form validation errors, and peripheral element distractions.
What We Examine
- Step Transition Latency: Quantifying the distribution of time spent on individual input fields and modal confirmations.
- Form Interaction Anomalies: Detecting autofill failures, field re-entry rates, and unhandled keyboard events on mobile screens.
- Exit Intent Precursors: Analyzing cursor acceleration, idle pauses, and tab-blur patterns that precede workflow abandonment.
- Error Messaging Clarity: Evaluating how inline error notifications are visually and semantically conveyed to users across viewport dimensions.
Concrete Deliverables
- Funnel Micro-Drop Breakdown: Quantitative step attribution distinguishing between intentional exits, technical failures, and hesitation timeouts.
- Annotated Friction Video Clips: Curated screen recordings highlighting exact stumbling blocks.
- Remediation Specification: Concrete frontend component adjustments, copy refinements, and input validation timing changes.
- Implementation Q&A: A dedicated 45-minute debrief with your growth and frontend engineers.
Timelines & Pricing
The diagnostic is delivered within 5 to 7 business days for a fixed fee starting at $1,800 USD.
