When to use it
Use it when
- Routine funnel monitoring.
- Before/after a release, same steps.
Do not use it when
- Unverified steps: funnel-analysis checks instrumentation first.
What it needs first
Required
Preconditions
- The account is ticked in the dashboard, confirmed via list_accounts.
Inputs
window- Analysis window.Default: last 30 days.
Procedure
In order. Every tool named is one the gateway ships, and links to its reference.
Run the funnel over the known steps.
Compare the worst step against the baseline.
Decision rules
The observable condition, what it lets you conclude, and what takes the conclusion back.
When
The worst step moved beyond noise since baseline
Conclude
Escalate to funnel-analysis with segments: the quick read locates, the deep read explains.
Evidence every conclusion must carry
- Every figure carries its account, metric and window.
- Anything below a readable sample size is reported as unjudged, not as zero.
Where the agent stops
- The readout changes nothing. Any change it motivates goes through Safe Writes: preview, human confirmation, then apply.
How it goes wrong quietly
The cases where the analysis is wrong and still looks right. Read them before trusting a number.
- Session vs user scope changes the curve: keep the construction constant across reads.
