Conversion Funnel
Plain-language definitionA model of the stages people pass through toward an outcome. It helps identify where progression slows, but real journeys are rarely perfectly linear.
Why it matters
Use the term to make a better decision.
In practice, conversion funnel matters when a team needs to connect a technical or creative choice to a visible change in clarity, performance, discovery, or conversion. The useful question is not whether the term sounds sophisticated. It is what decision it helps the team make.
