DEC-57Web2App funnel intelligence
Best in class web2app captures

Copy the machine. Not the manipulation.

The research pack is now a browsable site: Meta Ad Library leaders, full BetterMe and Headway capture summaries, benchmark screenshots, and the Opal adaptation path.

The winning machine

The best funnels do not jump from ad to App Store. They preserve intent, manufacture a personalized object, then sell activation of that object.

Tradeoff: BetterMe and WalkFit prove the conversion system, but the brand tax is real. Opal should copy routing, plan preview, proof placement, checkout clarity, and app handoff continuity. Do not copy fake urgency, casino discounts, or shame-pressure loops.

Deep capture read

BetterMe and Headway are long because they are producing felt commitment. Opal should compress the useful parts into a visible plan state.

BetterMe: health diagnosis to discount bridge

44 screens from gender/body hook to scratch-card/checkout prelude.

1
Gender/body hook, goal, target zones, dream body.
2
Training intent, schedule, equipment, workout frequency.
3
Lifestyle and diet intake: energy, sleep, hydration, habits, cravings.
4
Health-data gate: height, weight, goal weight, age, profile.
5
Motivation chart, loader testimonials, email/name gate.
6
Discount theater and checkout prelude.

Headway: identity loops to tariff selector

43 screens from landing page through plan paywall.

1
Broad self-improvement landing with direct CTA.
2
Gender, age, daily time target.
3
Repeated motivation and habit micro-commitments.
4
Psychographic agreement scales across life domains.
5
App Store proof, reading facts, social proof.
6
Email/account, then 1/3/6 month plan selector.

Opal adaptation

The leverage point is continuity: ad promise, landing, questions, proof, plan, paywall, checkout, and installed app must all describe the same user-specific object.

First shippable slice

Start with bedtime. It is narrow enough to test the whole thesis without rebuilding every funnel route.
