What it does
Most teams know they’re losing buyers somewhere in the funnel – they just can’t tell which stage, or why. A general analytics report shows a hundred numbers and diagnoses nothing.
This skill runs a structured nine-signal audit instead. After a staged setup — it checks your Databox connection, has you pick the account, confirms GA4 is connected (required), reports which optional sources you have, and summarizes what will run before pulling anything — it verifies every metric key live against your sources, then pulls the nine signals organized into three funnel stages.
Stage 1 (Traffic→MQL): channel CTR, engaged-session rate, and content-sourced MQL rate.
Stage 2 (MQL→SQL): meeting-request rate, high-intent conversion by channel, and MQL→SQL conversion.
Stage 3 (SQL→Opportunity): stage progression, win rate, and lost-deal reasons.
Every figure is pulled through the Databox MCP and traceable — if a source isn’t connected or a metric returns nothing, that section is dropped entirely rather than padded with “N/A.” The lost-deal-reason signal is sanity-checked before it’s shown, so a misconfigured field never produces a misleading breakdown.
The deliverable is a single HTML report with a hero summary of what ran, the three stage sections with a one-line read on each signal, and a prioritized diagnosis: which stage is weakest, where within it messaging is underperforming, and the specific next step to take. It’s built to be read in minutes and acted on – a point of view, not a data dump.
No AI hallucinations. Analysis built on a real context layer.
Ask a generic AI to analyse your business performance and it will give you a confident answer. It will also be working from assumptions.
Generic AI doesn't know how your business defines a qualified lead, what your MRR calculation includes, or how you attribute revenue. It fills those gaps with the most plausible interpretation it can find — which is different from the correct one.
The products here run on Databox's data layer — if you choose so. Your metric definitions, your reporting logic, and your live numbers are what the AI reads, pulled straight through Databox MCP instead of uploaded by hand. That's the difference between an output you can share with your team and one you have to verify before you trust it.

Common questions
What does the Messaging Audit do?
It runs a nine-signal diagnostic across your funnel — Traffic→MQL, MQL→SQL, SQL→Opportunity — and produces an HTML report that names which stage is where your messaging is losing buyers, with a prioritized next step. Every number is pulled live via the Databox MCP; nothing is estimated.
What data sources do I need?
Google Analytics 4 is required. HubSpot CRM is optional and unlocks the MQL→SQL and SQL→Opportunity stages; LinkedIn Ads or Google Ads is optional and unlocks the channel CTR signal. Whatever you don't have connected is simply left out of the report — no placeholder sections.
Is this a dashboard or a diagnosis?
A diagnosis. It doesn't dump metrics — it verifies the signals live, drops anything it can't stand behind (including a data-quality check on the lost-deal-reason field), and delivers a prioritized point of view on where to focus, in a report you can read in minutes.
Do I need a Databox account to use this skill?
Yes, ideally — and here's why it matters. Point a generic AI at a raw data export and it has to guess what your numbers mean: which conversions count, how you define an engaged session, what a "normal" week looks like. It fills those gaps with the most plausible interpretation it can find, which is often not the correct one. The skill avoids that by reading your data live from Databox through MCP, where your metrics are already standardized — one consistent definition for sessions, engagement, and conversions across your setup. The AI reads what's actually true for your business instead of inferring it, so the report is one you can trust rather than verify. You can technically run it against data you've pasted in by hand, but you lose that context layer and the output is only as reliable as the export. If you don't have an account or data source connected yet, the skill walks you through the setup.
Do I need a paid Databox plan to run this skill?
The skill is free to download. Running it requires the Databox MCP connection, which isn't included on the forever free plan. Every new Databox account starts with a 14-day free trial that includes everything the skill needs — after that, any paid plan covers it, including the Analyst plan.
Does this use live data from my connected source?
Yes — every run reads your live data directly from Databox through the MCP connection. The report reflects your current data at the moment you run it, not a cached or uploaded snapshot.
Do I need to export data manually?
No — there are no CSV exports and no copy-paste. The skill pulls your data straight from Databox through MCP each time it runs, so the report is always built from your live source.
Can agencies run this for multiple clients?
Yes — run it against each client's data connected in Databox, one account at a time, and you get the same structured weekly brief for every client. It's built to give a consistent report you can take to each client review.
Can I customize the report?
Yes. Before it runs, the skill asks a few onboarding questions — what you want to measure, the time frame, and any context that matters for the analysis — so the report is shaped to your goals from the start. After a run, you can give it feedback to adjust focus, sections, or anomaly thresholds, and reinstall the updated version so your changes carry into future runs.
