Measured versus unavailable

The workspace labels stored analytics and source coverage. Missing data is not zero performance. Newly connected properties may have no historical rows available in Obelo yet; a successful connection and a successful data sync are separate states.

Search Console and Analytics count different events. Do not treat their dashboard stages as a user-level conversion funnel unless you have a measurement design that supports that inference.

A practical weekly review

  1. Select a consistent reporting period.
  2. Check source freshness and missing signals.
  3. Compare the relevant metric with its prior period and business context.
  4. Open the evidence behind a meaningful change.
  5. Create one reviewable action and return the result to the next planning cycle.
