How the stall gate works
This tool grades the path an AI agent would take through your store, stage by stage. Each stage scores 0–100; the pipeline is only as strong as its weakest stage — then a stall gate that can only make it worse. Where a stage stalls, it names the constraint.
The 5 stages
A single stage at or below 40 stops the path no matter how high the others score. The relay is the minimum, not the mean.
Why: Four stages run 60–90, so the average (67) looks passable. But Authorization scores 35, and a relay is only as strong as its weakest leg, so the path STALLS. Raise Authorization to 45 and the gate releases to WEAK LEG.
The average hides the bottleneck. The pipeline takes the minimum, the stall gate blocks on any stalled stage, and where a stage is stalled, the fix first row names the constraint to clear. Grades the path from marks you set about your own store. It does not test a live checkout or predict what any agent or platform will do.
