The System Behind EveryHigh-Converting Funnel

Our proprietary 14-point framework systematically identifies where funnels lose trust, clarity, or momentum—and rebuilds them for results.

Most conversion work is reactive—testing random elements, tweaking copy, chasing best practices—

without understanding why the funnel isn't working in the first place.

The Conversion Architecture Framework eliminates guesswork.

It's a diagnostic system built on Applied Psychology and conversion design principles that systematically identifies where funnels break:

at the level of trust, clarity, decision-making friction, and behavioral momentum.

This isn't a checklist. It's the lens we apply to every audit

and every funnel build—ensuring nothing is missed and every fix is grounded in how users actually make decisions.

Our 14-point Proprietary Conversion Architecture Framework

Cognitive Clarity

(Does The User Immediately Understand What This Is, Why It Matters, And Who It's For?)

Five-Second Value Test

What It Diagnoses:

Whether the primary value proposition is clear within 5 seconds of landing

Why It Matters

If users can't grasp your core offer instantly, they bounce before conversion is even possible.

"Why Now" Relevance

What It Diagnoses:

Whether urgency or situational relevance is established for the prospect

Why It Matters

Without timing context, users defer decisions indefinitely— momentum dies before it starts.

Buyer Role Clarity

What It Diagnoses:

Whether Economic Buyers and End Users are both addressed with appropriate messaging

Why It Matters

Misaligned messaging speaks to the wrong persona, creating disconnect and slowing deal cycles.

Product Differentiation (USP)

What It Diagnoses:

How clearly the core value is distinguished from competitors

Why It Matters

If differentiation isn't obvious, users default to price comparison or abandon to "research more"

Destination vs. Features

What It Diagnoses:

Whether messaging focuses on outcomes ("where it takes you") vs. capabilities ("what it does")

Why It Matters

Users buy transformation, not features—feature-led messaging stalls emotional momentum

Value Visibility Gap

What It Diagnoses:

Where primary ROI is buried under poor Information Architecture, cognitive noise, or sub-navigation

Why It Matters

Even brilliant value doesn't exist for users if they can't see it in the first 30 seconds—inattentional blindness kills conversion

Behavioral Flow

(Does The Funnel Guide Users Naturally Through Decision-Making, Or Does It Create Friction And Stalls?)

Pre-Click to Landing Transition

What It Diagnoses:

Message match and expectation alignment from ad/link to landing experience

Why It Matters

Mismatched intent creates immediate friction and distrust—users bounce before engaging

Use Case & Aha! Moment

What It Diagnoses:

Whether the moment the product's value becomes “real” is surfaced early

Why It Matters

Without an Aha! moment, users remain in research mode instead of decision mode

Information Flow Architecture

What It Diagnoses:

How data, value, and proof are sequenced across the page or funnel

Why It Matters

Poor information hierarchy overloads users or delays critical insights, breaking momentum

CTA Architecture

What It Diagnoses:

Placement, hierarchy, contrast, and logic of conversion triggers

Why It Matters

Competing or unclear CTAs create decision paralysis and kill conversion velocity

Psychological Friction Points

What It Diagnoses:

Cognitive barriers like FUD, decision fatigue, or complexity overload

Why It Matters

Even small psychological friction compounds into abandonment—users need zero-resistance paths.

Structural Integrity

(Is The Funnel Architecturally Sound, Or Do Systemic Flaws Sabotage Conversion At Scale?)

Visual Hierarchy

What It Diagnoses:

Whether F-pattern or Z-pattern aligns with cognitive load and guides attention correctly

Why It Matters

Misaligned visual hierarchy forces users to work harder to understand—effort kills conversion

Value Prioritization Flaw

What It Diagnoses:

Whether secondary features compete with the core action, causing feature proliferation

Why It Matters

When everything is emphasized, nothing is—high-intent traffic gets distracted by low-value tasks

Final ROI Leak Diagnosis

What It Diagnoses:

Systemic failure across the funnel and their compounding revenue impact

Why It Matters

Individual leaks are fixable; structural collapse requires re-architecture—this surfaces both

Framework in Practice

Example 1: SaaS Pricing Page Collapse

Issue:

Enterprise buyers struggled to choose the right plan because features and pricing options were bundled together, with each feature presenting multiple competing CTAs.

Framework Insight:

The framework identified a Value Visibility Gap (#6) and a Value Prioritization Flaw (#13), revealing structural conflict at the decision point.

Outcome:

Rebuilding the pricing architecture restored clarity, reduced hesitation, and unlocked high-intent enterprise conversions.

Example 2 — Onboarding Momentum Trap

Issue:

After users understood the product's value and reached the conversion point, unwarranted interruptions, feature overload, and pricing ambiguity caused them to drop off.

Framework Insight:

Psychological Friction Points (#11) and Information Flow Architecture (#9), exposed the user's decision-journey failureafter the Aha! moment.

Outcome:

Restructuring the activation flow removed ambiguity, clarified the product's value for users earlier, and accelerated time-to-value (TTV).

Example 3 — Pre-Click Disconnect

Issue:

High-intent traffic bounced immediately after landing despite strong ad performance.

Framework Insight:

Pre-Click to Landing Transition (#7) and the Five-Second Value Test (#1),revealed message mismatch and expectation gaps.

Outcome:

Realigning ad promises with landing messaging restored trust and improved conversion velocity.

How This Powers Everything We Do

This framework isn't theoretical—it's the operational system behind every audit and funnel build.

In Audits:

We apply all 14 principles to systematically diagnose where your funnel breaks. Nothing is missed. Every issue is categorized by cause, not symptoms.

In Funnel Builds:

We architect every stage, page, and CTA around these principles— ensuring trust, clarity, and momentum are structurally embedded from the start.

The Result:

Conversion architecture grounded in Behavioral Psychology and proven design principles— not guesswork or best-practice checklists.

Why This Framework Exists

Most conversion work treats symptoms. We built this system to diagnose root causes.

Radz Designs was founded by SJ, who holds a Master's in Applied Psychology and has years of experience in analytical journalism.

That combination—understanding human decision-making at a psychological level and pattern recognition honed through investigative research—

shaped how we approach conversion architecture.

This work bridges behavioral science with design execution. It's not a borrowed methodology. It's proprietary, tested, and forms the foundation of

how we identify what breaks conversion and how to fix it.
