Journey compression describes cases where the observable steps or time between comparison and buying intent shrink during AI-assisted exploration. A missing step may have happened elsewhere rather than vanished.
The demo compares an illustrative multi-search path with a shorter AI-answer path. In real analysis, align cohort, time window, and event definitions.
A shorter path is not automatically better. Check later satisfaction and returns as well as speed.
When to use
Use it to compare exploration depth and time to intent among AI-assisted visitors.
