policy, and the paid diagnosis handoff."},{"route":"/pricing or /plans","observedSignal":"The first paid step is available, but the page does not fully show how the $490 spend becomes a recovery decision.","interpretation":"Price clarity alone is not enough when the buyer needs to justify why diagnosis should precede a larger growth bet.","buyerRisk":"Leadership compares the purchase to a cheap audit instead of a spend-gate decision record.","validationSignal":"Pricing states the included report sections, exclusions, delivery expectation, and sample report path above the primary CTA."},{"route":"/security","observedSignal":"Passive-scan and signing details exist but are separated from the commercial proof path.","interpretation":"Procurement or technical reviewers may not see why the diagnosis is low-risk enough to approve quickly.","buyerRisk":"A high-intent buyer delays the purchase to ask security questions that public pages could already answer.","validationSignal":"Security copy is internally linked from sample report, pricing, app, and answer hub with consistent no-credential boundaries."},{"route":"/app or /demo","observedSignal":"The next action is visible, but the reason to act now can look like a generic contact or checkout flow.","interpretation":"The conversion path needs to preserve the category promise at the point of payment.","buyerRisk":"The buyer exits before payment because the page does not restate URL in, recovery case out, delivery window, and no-guarantee boundaries.","validationSignal":"Checkout handoff repeats the URL, buyer email, delivery expectation, signed report status, and exact $490 diagnosis scope."}],"proofBundle":["Signed report hash and
