Acquisition Paths Isolated to the Funded Trader

Funnel mechanics with stage-level governance. Every path is traceable from first touch to funded account.

Problem

Leakage Between Stages, No Path Attribution

Traditional funnels report aggregate conversion rates. They do not isolate paths. They do not attribute funded traders to specific acquisition sequences. The result: iteration without causality.

Stage-level drop-off is invisible. A/B tests compare landing pages, not path-to-funded outcomes. Cohort acquisition cost is computed retroactively, if at all.

System

Stage-Governed Funnel with Isolation

Standard Acquisition System isolates every conversion path from first touch to funded account. Each stage has defined exit criteria, governance rules, and telemetry output.

Path-to-funded rate is computed per cohort. Stage-level drop-off triggers automatic intervention. Acquisition cost by cohort surfaces which sequences deliver the lowest CPFT. The system governs paths, not pages.

Proof

Stage-Governance Design Target

Standard's stage-governance is engineered to lift path-to-funded rate from the ~9% industry baseline toward 14%+ — a 50%+ relative improvement — by isolating and governing the highest-drop-off stage (trial-to-evaluation) with deterministic exit criteria rather than aggregate funnel metrics.
