30/100 Sparse
Scores above 18% of 1,252 multi-step funnels we have measured. Among the 63 content funnels in that group, above 42%.
How this was measured
Coverage is detection coverage, not a verdict — it counts the conversion tactics we could prove are present, out of the 5 that apply to a content funnel.
Measured by Roentgen 1.20.1, one of our versioned rulesets. A capture is read once and its measurements freeze there, so the stamp says which ruleset read this one.
Walk 17 links seen, 9 walkable, 2 matched, and we walked 3 pages.

Absence is a measurement, not a recommendation: we do not know why a tactic is missing, whether it belongs here, or whether adding it would change anything. Where a walk stopped early, a tactic living deeper would also read as not detected.

Image alt text passesa11y:image-alt-text
All 3 content images carry alt text.
