A funnel or dashboard can show where users disappear, but it cannot explain the cause unless event quality, segmentation, traffic mix, product context, and customer behavior are considered together.<\/p>\n<p>The objective is to identify the stage with the greatest commercially meaningful loss, validate the data behind it, and define the next investigation or action without confusing correlation with causation.
