# Funnel Teardown — neon.tech
> An evidence-based read of neon.tech's live conversion funnel, captured 2026-07-10.
> Every claim is measured from the page; each detected tactic carries the exact
> on-page string it fired on. Deterministic extraction — no LLM opinion. Read this
> to understand WHY this funnel converts (or leaks) — the persuasion principles it
> uses and the ones it's missing. It is a report to learn from, not a template to clone.
**Funnel type:** saas
**Evidence Coverage Score:** 20/100 (Sparse)
**Path captured:** Homepage / Lander → Unify
## Scorecard — where the points come from
| Category | Earned |
|----------|-------:|
| Offer clarity | 0 / 8 |
| Action path | 5 / 20 |
| Trust & proof | 6 / 11 |
| Friction reduction | 0 / 10 |
| Value reinforcement | 0 / 10 |
| Risk reversal & urgency | 0 / 0 |
## What's working — tactics in play, with proof
Each is a persuasion mechanism the funnel actually deploys; the quoted string is the on-page evidence.
- **Trusted-by logo wall** — Customer/company logos or a "trusted by / used by" claim.
_Proof:_ `home: backed by`
- **Demo / docs entry** — A "book a demo" or documentation / API entry point.
_Proof:_ `home: Read the docs`, `p2: API reference`
## What's missing — gaps for a saas funnel
Conversion tactics that apply to this funnel type but weren't found — the openings a competitor could exploit:
- **Us-vs-them comparison** — not detected. A comparison table framing the brand against alternatives.
- **FAQ / objection handling** — not detected. An accordion / FAQ block answering objections.
- **Proof above the fold** — not detected. Social proof rendered within the first viewport on at least one step.
- **Free trial / freemium** — not detected. A free trial, free tier, or "no credit card" entry offer.
- **Usage / adoption proof** — not detected. A count of developers / teams / companies / stars using the product.
- **Pricing tiers** — not detected. Named plan tiers with per-month / per-seat pricing.
- **Lead-capture form** — not detected. An on-page form collecting contact details (email / name / phone) outside a checkout.
## Proof language observed
The exact phrasing this funnel uses to build credibility — study the *mechanism* (specific numbers, named counts, guarantees), not the wording:
- _(none extracted)_
## Measured design signals (facts, not a style to copy)
- Palette, area-weighted from live CSS:
