Diagnostic table
| Signal | Check | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Operating failure modes | Separate a funnel leak from an operating leak, such as no follow-up, no promotion, weak delivery, or no owner. | If the operating owner or follow-up path is unclear, mark the recommendation as a process fix before a creative fix. |
| Message friction and belief gaps | Review whether the page builds enough emotional and logical belief before it asks for action. | If the buyer has not been given enough proof, process, or next-step clarity, do not recommend more traffic as the first fix. |
| Funnel math and scenario quality | Separate observed inputs from assumptions before treating a scenario as decision evidence. | If the model is sensitive to an assumed number, keep the recommendation as a scenario until the source is verified. |
| Product record completeness | Review whether product details, variants, media, pricing context, and page sections are complete enough to support discovery and conversion. | If product records are incomplete, assign product assortment cleanup before changing ads or navigation. |
| Collection structure readiness | Check whether collections are organized around buyer discovery, merchandising logic, and page clarity. | If collection structure is unclear, recommend a collection setup review before SEO or paid traffic changes. |
| Product assortment-to-page consistency | Connect product pages, collection pages, and gift-card or merchandising options so the store does not launch with inconsistent buyer paths. | If product assortment pages do not agree, keep the recommendation in review until the store path is consistent. |
