What it skips

versobooks.com misses 1 thing most peers do.

Most common first. The rare ones are opportunities, not gaps. Open a row to see who does.

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. A tactic with no peer rate yet is listed without one, never as 0%.

How it ranks

Every figure on this page was read off the live site by Roentgen 1.35.1 on 2026-11-04, a script that reads page structure, computed CSS and matched text. No AI judgment, nothing estimated, and a capture’s numbers stay as read.

How this was measured

Detection coverage, not a verdict. A low count means we did not detect those checks, not that the funnel is weak.

Walk 80 links on the entry page, 64 walkable. 2 matched a funnel step; we captured 3 pages in all, this one included.

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.
