Analytical explanation
Investigate by item, device, stock, pricing, shipping expectations and product-page usability. Make sure quick-add triggers are tracked.

Four complementary explanations — choose your level. Technical definitions are platform-specific where noted.
↗ How to use it

⚠ Common interpretation mistake
