Which step of your funnel can fund a verdict?
A funnel is not a set of numbers, it is a queue of units you could be judged on. Every consecutive pair in it — visits→signups, signups→activations, activations→paid — is a unit you can test, and each unit has its own floor: the events a strict two-arm test needs before a difference means anything. This tool takes the counted events of your funnel per month and reports, for each pair, the floor, the events each arm actually sees in a month, and how many months a verdict takes.
Your funnel, in events per month
| Step | Events per month |
|---|---|
Up to four steps, in order. A step with a zero count is simply skipped, so a three-step funnel is fine. The pairs are what get judged; the last step is where money lives and has no next pair.
What counts as worth detecting
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Relative lift worth detecting (0.2 = +20%) | |
| Months you are willing to wait | |
| Power (0.8 or 0.9) | |
| Alpha (0.05, 0.01 or 0.1) |

How to read the answer
The floor assumes a 50/50 split, so each arm gets half of the earlier step's monthly volume. The months number is therefore not a prediction about how fast the test converts — it is how long the funnel takes to produce the events the verdict needs. Three things the output refuses to hide:
- the earliest step reads soonest and owns the least — it is usually the number already in the dashboard;
- the money step has no next pair, so money always reads one step behind whatever unit you chose;
- if nothing in the funnel is readable inside your horizon, the honest output is a progress report, not a test.
The arithmetic is a statistics floor, not a forecast: at 80% power and alpha 0.05, a strict two-proportion comparison needs the sample size the floor formula gives. Compare with the same computation in a terminal: npx marketing-mindset unit --steps visits:12000,signups:900,activations:270,paid:40. Longer version of the argument, for developer tools where the signup is the wrong unit: marketing engineer for devtools.
