Measured evidence for a focused vehicle-page to booking sprint.

This pre-read leads with the measured Amplitude funnel, clarifies what is and is not currently instrumented, and translates the evidence into a prioritized roadmap for international conversion work.

What is measured right now.

The web evidence is an endpoint funnel: page viewed on country vehicle pages to successful reservation API response on checkout. That makes vehicle-page clarity, checkout reassurance, payment recovery, and instrumentation the most defensible starting points.

What is not measured yet.

Missing steps

Search to checkout step loss

Search entered, vehicle selected, extras continued, checkout started, payment started, and payment error need explicit events before claiming exact step cliffs.

Separate funnel

Mobile should stay separate

Mobile country conversion exists, but it is not the same denominator as the web dashboard. UK mobile is 25.6%; US mobile is 40.7%.

ROI inputs

Revenue sizing needs joins

Sessions, booking count, revenue, and AOV are not visible in the current dashboard and should be joined before publishing revenue upside.

Usable now

Benchmark gaps are enough to prioritize

The endpoint data is sufficient to justify a conversion sprint and a Germany parity investigation.

Effort / value matrix from the evidence.

The matrix is the bridge between the measured funnel context and the roadmap. It shows why the first sprint should favor clear, low-effort conversion fixes while the larger market and mobile work is sequenced behind it.

Highest priority

High value / low effort

  • Vehicle-card clarity
  • Pay Later / deposit / tax copy
  • Payment error recovery
  • Full step instrumentation
Plan

High value / higher effort

  • Germany parity sprint
  • Mobile EU simplification
  • Guest-first checkout
  • Intent-specific merchandising
Opportunistic

Lower value / low effort

  • Confirmation readiness checklist
  • Pickup reminder copy
Defer

Lower confidence / higher effort

  • Large funnel rebuild
  • Search redesign before step data
  • Published ROI without revenue joins

Discussion pivot: what the evidence supports next.

Recommended pivot

Use the evidence to align on a short sprint for the upper-left matrix items, use UK and Germany as first validation markets, and require an export of sessions, booking counts, revenue, and AOV before any revenue upside is published.
