The dashboard can show the route and still miss the order
Facebook records attention and response. The website records visits and page views. Neither record, by itself, proves that a customer completed an order.
What would connect the click to an order?
A tracked link could connect the click to checkout or order data. The current post record stops at the click.
A statistic makes sense only when its full context stays visible
Start with what the customer experienced. Then keep the channel, dashboard section, statistic, and channel-specific meaning connected.
