£1.8m of annualised revenue exposed by iOS Safari checkout drop-off.

Since the 14 June release, iOS Safari completion has fallen from 71% to 66%. The signature is a 12-second Apple Pay wait — reproducible and reversible.

Value

What acting is worth.

Sized against comparable historical actions. Estimates are honest — the methodology is stated so the number can be argued with.

Estimated value

Confidence · Investigate

£1.8M

annualised revenue at risk · annualised, until fixed

Methodology

iOS-Safari session count × the 5-point completion gap × average order value, annualised at the trailing 14-day baseline.

Cost of doing nothing

Roughly £34k of revenue leaks every week the flag is left on, and the fault will begin to shape iOS repeat behaviour after four weeks.

Why now

Why Ana has flagged this.

The reasoning behind the identification, in one paragraph. Every opportunity earns its place on the pipeline.

The pattern is technical, isolated to one platform, and matches the deployment log exactly. A revert or feature-flag removes the exposure inside a day.

One clear next step to realise the value — and the cost of not taking it.
