Walkthrough
From raw events to journey stories
Raw event exports look impressive and explain nothing. This walkthrough mirrors what learners practice in Journey Reporting Studio when they convert application analytics into customer journey reporting someone will actually discuss.
1. Inventory without decorating
List every event that fired for a sample of users who completed — and failed — the journey. Resist charting. Mark duplicates and dead names. Your first deliverable is a crossed-out list, not a dashboard.
2. Bind events to stages
Assign each surviving event to an intent stage. If an event fits two stages, split the property or rename it. Ambiguity at this step becomes political later.
3. Draft the friction paragraph
Before numbers, write three sentences about where users hesitate, using support language if you have it. Numbers then illustrate the paragraph instead of replacing it.
4. Ship the brief
Close with one experiment, one metric of success, and the unknowns you refuse to pretend away. That is the Endpoint Anchorcore definition of a finished journey story.
