How the gate works
How the Checkout Abandonment Exposure gate works
This tool grades a checkout flow's exposure to cart abandonment. Each signal is scored 0–2; the verdict is the weakest one — then a gate that can only make it worse.
The 7 signals
Total-cost transparency and guest checkout are both on Baymard Institute's documented list of abandonment reasons, and the gate treats them as dispositive: a score of 1 or 0 on either forces HEMORRHAGING, regardless of the score.
Why: Six of seven signals score a perfect 2 — but total-cost transparency, a dominant abandonment driver, is only partial. The gate treats a partial failure there as dispositive, so the flow reads HEMORRHAGING, worse than the weakest-signal LEAKING.
A clean sheet didn’t save it. The verdict is the weakest signal — and a top trigger is dispositive on its own — so where a signal is short, the fix first row names it. Grades a flow you describe — no store connection, scores no people. No conversion or recovery rate is guaranteed.
