    ### From connection to verified outcome

    The controlled sequence every capability follows. Nothing changes a connected system without the approval step.

    <Steps>
      <Step title="Connect">
        Authorise the source. Scopes are shown before access is granted.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Monitor">
        Watch the signals against your own baselines, not universal defaults.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Detect">
        Run checks and gather evidence specific to your store.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Recommend">
        Explain what happened, why it matters and the proposed action.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Approve">
        You review scope, risk and reversibility before anything changes.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Execute">
        Apply through governed connector operations.

    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="Spam complaint rate > 0.1%">
        **Severity** critical · **Outcome** Protect revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        Spam complaints are the fastest way to damage sender reputation with mailbox providers; a rate this high can get future campaigns throttled or routed to spam even for recipients who never complained, which drags down deliverability for the whole list, not just the segment that complained.

      <Accordion title="Abandoned-cart flow not live">
        **Severity** high · **Outcome** Protect revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        Abandoned-cart recovery is usually the single highest-ROI automation in email: high-intent shoppers who nearly bought are contacted at exactly the right moment. Without it they are never contacted at all.

      <Accordion title="Bounce rate > 5%">
        **Severity** high · **Outcome** Protect revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        More than 1 in 20 emails is bouncing. Beyond the immediate lost reach, mailbox providers watch bounce rate as a sender-reputation signal, and a rate this high risks future emails, even to good addresses, landing in spam instead of the inbox.

      <Accordion title="Delivery rate < 95%">
        **Severity** high · **Outcome** Protect revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        More than 1 in 20 emails is not reaching an inbox at all, whether blocked, bounced, or filtered. Every campaign, promotion or transactional email built on this list is reaching a materially smaller audience than the send count suggests.

      <Accordion title="Email Bounce Rate">
        **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Protect revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        Bounced emails never reach the customer, and past roughly 5% mailbox providers treat the sender as risky, dragging down delivery of every future campaign including the ones that make money.

        **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Protect revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        Automations that are switched off or erroring stop producing revenue silently; abandoned-cart, welcome and win-back flows are typically the highest-earning sends a store has.

        Broadcasting to one undifferentiated list sends the same message to buyers, prospects and lapsed customers alike, which depresses engagement and accelerates unsubscribes.

      <Accordion title="Spam Complaint Rate">
        **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Protect revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        Spam complaints are the fastest way to destroy sender reputation. Above roughly 0.1 percent, providers start routing campaigns to junk for everyone, not just complainers, cutting email revenue silently.

        New subscribers are at their most engaged in their first days; without a live welcome flow that window closes unconverted.

        With fewer than 3 segments, campaigns are almost certainly going to the entire list every time, new customers and loyal repeat buyers, engaged subscribers and people who have not opened an email in a year, all treated identically. That flattens response rates and raises the same unsubscribe and spam
