When Product Analytics Isn’t the Right Fit

Product analytics is great for funnels and cohorts. But for PDP optimization, teams often want faster time-to-action, clearer recommendations, and guardrails when changes go live.

Product funnels show drop-off, but not what to change on a PDP
Auto-capture still needs governance to stay useful over time
Analysis can be dashboard-heavy and require analyst time
Not focused on versioned PDP shipping with KPI guardrails and rollback
