## Prompt

```text
Help me measure and improve a form on my website.

**Form type and purpose:** [contact / quote request / signup / checkout / application]
**Website platform and analytics:** [e.g. WordPress + GA4, Webflow, Shopify, HubSpot forms]
**Current fields:** [list every field, which are required]
**Current numbers, if known:** [page views, form starts, submissions, lead quality]
**What happens after submit:** [thank-you page, email, sales follow-up]

Deliver:
1. **Metrics to track** and how to define them: form views, start rate, completion rate, abandonment rate, field-level drop-off, time to complete, error rate, submission-to-qualified-lead rate.
2. **Tracking setup** for my platform: the events to fire (form view, first interaction, field errors, submit success), how to avoid counting failed submissions as conversions, and how to tie submissions to traffic source. Remind me never to send form contents or personal data to analytics.
3. **Diagnosis checklist:** too many or unnecessary fields, unclear labels, confusing validation errors, mobile usability, slow loading, missing trust signals, CAPTCHA friction, unclear next steps.
4. **Drop-off reading:** using my numbers, where in the funnel (view, start, specific field, submit, post-submit) people leave, and the most likely cause at each point. Flag fields that show high drop-off or error rates.
5. **Lead quality check:** whether changes that raise submissions could lower lead quality, and how to watch for it.
6. **Prioritized fixes** as a table: Issue | Evidence | Fix | Expected impact | Effort.
7. **A/B test plan** for the top 1-2 fixes: hypothesis, the metric that decides the winner, and how long to run it given my traffic (do not stop early on a small sample).

Base the diagnosis on my numbers where I have them, and mark anything that needs data as [MEASURE FIRST].
