Most analytics tools are good at showing what happened.

You can see bounce rates, funnels, and click paths.

But they rarely explain why a visitor hesitated or decided not to continue.

When I talk to founders about conversion problems, a lot of the discussion ends up being guesswork:

maybe the pricing feels wrong

maybe the page feels untrustworthy

maybe the messaging isn't clear

But it's surprisingly hard to diagnose those things objectively.

For people here who build products:

How do you currently figure out why users hesitate on a page?

Do you rely on user interviews, session recordings, heuristics, or something else?

I'm curious how others approach this layer of the problem.
