Question

Funnel Drop‑Off: Instrumentation, Incentives, Fairness, and Ownership

Context

You lead a program where candidates must: (1) submit paperwork, then (2) complete a first critical action to qualify. Many candidates finish paperwork but never complete the first action, wasting reviewer time and candidate effort. There is a 14‑day deadline from application to complete the first action. Reviewer capacity is 300 files per week.

Task

What concrete leadership actions will you take to:

(a) Instrument the funnel to identify the top 3 drop‑off causes within one week.

(b) Change incentives and process so that at least 60% of paperwork‑complete candidates complete the first action within 14 days.

(c) Preserve fairness and prevent gaming (e.g., low‑quality first actions to qualify).

(d) Assign clear ownership, SLAs, and escalation paths across teams.

Also specify:

Success metrics (primary and guardrails).
Governance rituals (cadence, reviews, audits).
How you would decide between speeding the process vs. offering perks.
