PostHog Activation Funnel Diagnoser

AI-powered weekly activation funnel diagnosis — critical drop identification, segment comparison, time-to-activate, behavioral deltas, and prioritized fixes scored across 5 dimensions.

Diagnoses PostHog activation funnels weekly to identify where users drop off and why. Computes per-step conversion rates with week-over-week trends, compares segments, measures time-to-activate, identifies behavioral differences between completers and drop-offs, and generates prioritized fix recommendations. Notion activation report + Slack digest. 24-node n8n workflow with Monday scheduler. BQS 12/12 certified.

Four Agents. Weekly Funnel Diagnosis. Critical Drop Identification.

The Fetcher

Step 1The Fetcher

Code-only

Queries PostHog API for funnel step data, user properties, and event sequences across the activation funnel. Retrieves per-step conversion rates, time-to-convert distributions, and user segment breakdowns for the configurable lookback window.

The Assembler

Step 2The Assembler

Code-only

Identifies critical drops in the activation funnel: steps with conversion below threshold, segments with disproportionate drop-off, time-to-activate outliers, and behavioral deltas between converters and non-converters at each step.

The Analyst

Step 3The Analyst

Tier 2 Classification

Performs root cause diagnosis for each critical drop: segment comparison (which user segments drop off most), behavioral delta analysis (what converters do differently), time-to-activate patterns, and friction indicators. Generates prioritized fix recommendations sorted by potential impact.

The Formatter

Step 4The Formatter

Tier 3 Creative

Generates a Notion funnel diagnosis report with per-step analysis, segment breakdowns, and prioritized fixes, plus a Slack digest with the top 3 critical drops and their recommended interventions.

What It Does NOT Do

×

Does not modify your funnel or product — this is an analysis tool that recommends changes for human review

×

Does not run A/B tests — it diagnoses funnel problems, not test treatments

×

Does not work with non-PostHog analytics tools — this is PostHog-specific

×

Does not track individual user journeys — it analyzes aggregate funnel patterns

×

Does not guarantee conversion improvements — it identifies drop patterns that teams must act on

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a critical drop?+

A funnel step where conversion rate falls below the configurable threshold (default 50%), or where week-over-week conversion declined more than 10%. The Assembler flags these steps and the Analyst diagnoses why users are dropping off at that specific point.

What are behavioral deltas?+

At each critical drop step, the Analyst compares the event sequences of users who converted vs those who did not. Behavioral deltas reveal what converters did differently — for example, they viewed the docs page before signing up, or they completed a tutorial step that non-converters skipped.

How does segment comparison work?+

The Assembler breaks down conversion at each step by user properties (plan type, referral source, device, geography, etc.). If enterprise users convert at 80% but free users convert at 30% at the same step, that segment disparity drives targeted fix recommendations.

Is there a refund policy?+
