Pages that try to serve awareness and decision simultaneously usually convince nobody, and the funnel makes that visible.

Real buyers enter at the middle, leave, return through a different channel, and consult sources you never see. Treating the model as a literal sequence produces measurement that reports a tidy journey nobody took.
Not literally. They enter mid-way, leave, return through other channels and consult sources you cannot see. The funnel is useful for checking content coverage, not for describing individual behaviour.
As many as there are distinct questions at that stage. The common gap is the middle: businesses publish awareness content and decision pages, and nothing that helps someone compare options.
