    <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.

      <Accordion title="Key events not configured (purchase event firing but conversions = 0)">
        **Severity** critical · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        The property has meaningful traffic but reports zero conversions, which almost never means zero sales; it means the tool cannot see the sales that are happening. Every conversion-based report and any ad spend optimised against this tool's conversion signal is blind until this is fixed.

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

        Analytics showing conversions while the store records zero orders (or the reverse) means one of the two systems is wrong; every decision made on the divergent numbers is at risk.

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

        Three out of four shoppers who add something to their cart leave without buying it. These are the closest prospects the store has, people who already decided they wanted a specific product, so this is lost revenue that was nearly captured, not cold traffic that never showed interest.

      <Accordion title="Session conversion rate below 1%">
        **Severity** high · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        Fewer than 1 in 100 sessions convert. At this rate the store needs a large multiple of today's traffic just to hold revenue flat, so the most efficient lever right now is fixing conversion, not buying more visitors who will convert at the same low rate.

      <Accordion title="Average engagement time below 30 seconds">
        **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Report only

        Under 30 seconds of engaged time is barely enough to read a headline, let alone consider a product. Visitors this disengaged are unlikely to convert on this visit or return for another, so traffic that looks healthy in a session count is not translating into attention.

        Seven in ten visitors are leaving after one page. Whatever is bringing them, an ad, a search result, a link, is not being matched by what they find when they arrive, and every one of those visits was still a cost (ad spend, content effort, SEO ranking) that produced no second page view.
