Revenue leakage detection is not about more dashboards. It is about asking: where does the funnel drop below benchmark, and what does that gap cost per month?
Five-step detection process
- Draw the journey from stranger to repeat buyer — one owner per stage
- Attach a metric to each transition (even rough ranges)
- Color-code stages red/yellow/green vs niche benchmarks
- Multiply lost conversions by average revenue per customer
- Rank leaks by impact and effort; assign one owner per fix

Signals leakage is happening
- Traffic or leads up, revenue flat
- CAC rising without LTV improvement
- Strong pipeline, weak close rate
- Impressions up in search, clicks flat (intent mismatch)
