This case study is a work in progress — the numbers below are real, the full write-up is still being drafted.

The problem

Shilajit UK has done £430,000 in lifetime revenue across 10,800 customers since 2018 — self-funded, no outside investment. For a stretch of months, the analytics told a different story: a business that looked like it was dying, when it wasn’t.

What was actually broken

A misconfiguration in the tracking setup was under-reporting real orders, making genuinely healthy trading periods look like a collapse in the dashboards. The full breakdown of what broke, how it was found, and the fix is coming in a follow-up post.

What happened

Once the tracking was corrected, the numbers lined back up with reality — and the underlying business was never the problem. The lesson: verify what your analytics are telling you against your actual order data before you make decisions off it.

What I’d do differently

Placeholder — the specific audit steps, the root cause, and the exact fix will be documented in full shortly.
