Name each step and its source
Example events include opening the game page and leaving for a store. Take views from the video platform and downloads from store reporting. Do not assume the same person is identifiable throughout.
Use campaign links consistently
Test each planned video or launch-wave link on a phone. Record date range, country and platform in the report. A click out to the store is not an installed application.

Show uncertainty in the report
An illustrative dashboard can contain four distinct counts: views, visits, store clicks and reported downloads. Without attribution, avoid presenting their ratio as a verified user journey. No actual campaign results are disclosed here.
