The problem
You’ve seen the number. You’ve probably rebuilt the page it sits on, more than once.
What you don’t have is the reason. And without the reason, every fix is a guess.
Three people left this week. One didn’t understand what you sell. One understood it and didn’t trust it. One wanted it and hit something in the way. Your dashboard recorded three identical exits.
Three reasons. Three different fixes.
The methodology
Your funnel covers the part you can measure. The decision started earlier — when something made their current setup feel wrong, and through the months they spent half-looking without searching for you.
I check all six phases against all three reasons. Confusion first, then Fear, then Friction, always in that order. A confused buyer can’t be reassured. A worried buyer doesn’t care how few clicks it takes.
Empty cells matter too. They tell you where to stop spending. The whole method is written out on the Barrier Matrix page — six phases, three reasons, and why the order is fixed.
An illustrative matrix. Yours is built from your go-to-market, your analytics and your customers’ words.
“I don’t understand what this is.”
“I understand it. I don’t trust it.”
“I want it. Something is in the way.”

The full engagement, day by day, what I need from you, and the price, sits on the next page.
