Separate attention from shopping intent
Video reach is exposure; a product visit is another action. Review the demonstration and call to action for the actual buyer. Broad entertainment reach may not represent a useful purchasing opportunity.
Map checkout and delivery exceptions
Group unavailable variants, price questions, cancellations and delivery concerns by product and channel. A completed checkout still needs successful fulfillment before it becomes a useful customer outcome.
Review repeat activity carefully
Distinguish a repeat customer from repeated impressions or an attributed order. Use available cohort reporting and respect communication permissions. Do not assume every repeat sale came from one creator or campaign.
Summary
Map one product's stage-by-stage funnel and annotate its largest exception.
