A useful evaluation
Define the conversion event that represents a meaningful visit before instrumenting the site.
Define the smallest successful task and check the edition, data model and operating effort against it. Include the ongoing owner in the evaluation, rather than choosing solely from a feature list.
Put it to work
- Write the task and the output that would make this tool useful.
- Define the conversion event that represents a meaningful visit before instrumenting the site.
- Record prerequisites, edition restrictions and the next decision before committing.
Limits and tradeoffs
Community Edition and managed cloud are distinct offerings. Website metrics do not establish account activation, and self-hosting requires infrastructure ownership.
