  * ============================================================================
- * ANALYTICS HOOKS
+ * ANALYTICS HOOKS (7 hooks)
+ *
+ * Adds 7. SIGNUP FLOW TIME-TO-CONVERT: gold/platinum loyalty 0.71x faster,
+ * bronze 1.3x slower (funnel-post). Discover via funnel median time-to-convert
+ * by loyalty_tier breakdown.
+ * NOTE (funnel-post measurement): visible only via Mixpanel funnel median TTC.
+ * Cross-event MIN→MIN SQL queries on raw events do NOT show this.
  * ============================================================================
  *
- * Hook 1: Signup Flow Improvement
- *   Type: event + everything (tag-and-filter)
- *   What: 7 days ago, signup flow switches from "v1" to "v2". Before that date,
- *     50% of sign ups are tagged _drop and removed in the everything hook,
- *     simulating a broken flow that got fixed.
- *   Mixpanel report:
- *     - Insights > line chart > "sign up" totaled by day, breakdown by signup_flow
- *     - Expect: ~2x volume increase in last 7 days; v1 disappears, v2 takes over
- *
- * Hook 2: Watch Time Inflection
- *   Type: event
- *   What: 30 days ago, watch time shifts. Before: watchTimeSec reduced by 25-79%.
- *     After: increased by 25-79%. Creates a clear before/after inflection.
- *   Mixpanel report:
- *     - Insights > line chart > "watch video" with AVG(watchTimeSec) by day
- *     - Expect: clear upward inflection ~30 days ago; watch time roughly doubles
- *
- * Hook 3: Toys + Shoes Cart Correlation
- *   Type: event
- *   What: Checkout carts with toys get shoes injected (and vice versa). Carts
- *     with neither toys nor shoes have all item prices discounted to 75-90%.
- *   Mixpanel report:
- *     - Insights > bar chart > "checkout" broken down by cart[].category
- *     - Expect: toys and shoes co-occur at high rate; carts without both have lower values
- *
- * Hook 4: Quality → Watch Time Correlation
- *   Type: event
- *   What: Video quality multiplies watchTimeSec: 2160p=1.5x, 1440p=1.4x,
- *     1080p=1.3x, 720p=1.15x, 480p=1.0x, 360p=0.85x, 240p=0.7x.
- *   Mixpanel report:
- *     - Insights > bar chart > "watch video" with AVG(watchTimeSec), breakdown by quality
- *     - Expect: monotonic increase from 240p to 2160p
- *
- * Hook 5: Item Flattening
- *   Type: event
- *   What: Events with an item array property get the first item's fields
- *     flattened onto the event record, making category/amount/slug available
- *     as top-level properties for easier breakdown in reports.
+ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ * Hook 1: Signup Flow Improvement (event + everything)
+ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * PATTERN: 7 days ago, signup_flow switches from "v1" to "v2". Before
+ * that date, 50% of sign ups are tagged _drop and removed in the
+ * everything hook, simulating a broken flow that got fixed.
+ *
+ * HOW TO FIND IT IN MIXPANEL:
+ *
+ *   Report 1: Sign Ups by Flow Version
+ *   - Report type: Insights
+ *   - Event: "sign up"
+ *   - Measure: Total
+ *   - Breakdown: "signup_flow"
+ *   - Line chart by day
+ *   - Expected: v1 disappears at day -7; v2 takes over and roughly 2x daily volume
+ *
+ *   Report 2: Pre vs Post Volume
+ *   - Report type: Insights
+ *   - Event: "sign up"
+ *   - Measure: Total
+ *   - Compare date ranges (last 7 days vs prior 7 days)
+ *   - Expected: ~ 2x signups in the post-fix window
+ *
+ * REAL-WORLD ANALOGUE: A broken signup flow silently halved conversions
+ * until a release shipped a fix; daily signups roughly doubled overnight.
+ *
+ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ * Hook 2: Watch Time Inflection (event)
+ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * PATTERN: 30 days ago, watch time shifts. Before that date, watchTimeSec
+ * is reduced by 25-79%. After, it is increased by 25-79%. Creates a
+ * clear before/after inflection.
+ *
+ * HOW TO FIND IT IN MIXPANEL:
+ *
+ *   Report 1: Avg Watch Time Over Time
+ *   - Report type: Insights
+ *   - Event: "watch video"
+ *   - Measure: Average of "watchTimeSec"
+ *   - Line chart by day
+ *   - Expected: clear upward inflection ~ 30 days ago; watch time ~ doubles
+ *
+ *   Report 2: Watch Time Distribution Pre vs Post
+ *   - Report type: Insights
+ *   - Event: "watch video"
+ *   - Measure: Average of "watchTimeSec"
+ *   - Compare date ranges (last 30 days vs prior 30 days)
+ *   - Expected: post-inflection ~ 2x avg watch time
+ *
+ * REAL-WORLD ANALOGUE: An algorithm or UX change (autoplay, recs)
+ * inflects average watch duration sharply on a release date.
+ *
+ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ * Hook 3: Toys + Shoes Cart Correlation (event)
+ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * PATTERN: Checkout carts with toys get a shoes item injected (and vice
+ * versa). Carts with neither toys nor shoes have all item prices
+ * discounted to 75-90% of normal.
+ *
+ * HOW TO FIND IT IN MIXPANEL:
+ *
+ *   Report 1: Cart Category Co-occurrence
+ *   - Report type: Insights
+ *   - Event: "checkout"
+ *   - Measure: Total
+ *   - Breakdown: "category" (flattened item category)
+ *   - Expected: toys and shoes appear at high co-occurrence rate
+ *
+ *   Report 2: Cart Value by Category Mix
+ *   - Report type: Insights
+ *   - Event: "checkout"
+ *   - Measure: Average of "amount"
+ *   - Breakdown: "category"
+ *   - Expected: carts lacking both toys and shoes have lower avg amount
+ *
+ * REAL-WORLD ANALOGUE: Family shoppers buying for kids tend to bundle
+ * toys with shoes; a market-basket pattern that retailers exploit.
+ *
+ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ * Hook 4: Quality to Watch Time Correlation (event)
+ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * PATTERN: Video quality multiplies watchTimeSec: 2160p=1.5x, 1440p=1.4x,
+ * 1080p=1.3x, 720p=1.15x, 480p=1.0x, 360p=0.85x, 240p=0.7x.
+ *
+ * HOW TO FIND IT IN MIXPANEL:
+ *
+ *   Report 1: Avg Watch Time by Quality
+ *   - Report type: Insights
+ *   - Event: "watch video"
+ *   - Measure: Average of "watchTimeSec"
+ *   - Breakdown: "quality"
+ *   - Expected: monotonic increase from 240p to 2160p
+ *
+ *   Report 2: Quality Distribution
+ *   - Report type: Insights
+ *   - Event: "watch video"
+ *   - Measure: Total
+ *   - Breakdown: "quality"
+ *   - Expected: viewers split across all quality tiers; HD tiers earn more time
+ *
+ * REAL-WORLD ANALOGUE: Higher-resolution streams correlate with longer
+ * sessions because they signal a better connection and more invested viewer.
+ *
+ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ * Hook 5: Item Flattening (event)
+ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * PATTERN: Events with an item array property get the first item's
+ * fields (category, amount, slug, etc.) flattened onto the event record
+ * as top-level properties — making them available for direct breakdown
+ * in reports.
+ *
+ * HOW TO FIND IT IN MIXPANEL:
+ *
+ *   Report 1: View Items by Category
+ *   - Report type: Insights
+ *   - Event: "view item"
+ *   - Measure: Total
+ *   - Breakdown: "category"
+ *   - Expected: clean breakdown across category values without nested-property issues
+ *
+ *   Report 2: Add to Cart Avg Amount by Category
+ *   - Report type: Insights
+ *   - Event: "add to cart"
+ *   - Measure: Average of "amount"
+ *   - Breakdown: "category"
+ *   - Expected: per-category averages render correctly off flat properties
+ *
+ * REAL-WORLD ANALOGUE: Analytics teams routinely flatten nested cart
+ * objects onto events so downstream tools can group/filter without joins.
+ *
+ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ * Hook 6: View-Item Magic Number (everything)
+ * ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ *
+ * PATTERN: Users who view 3-8 items in the dataset window are in the
+ * "considered buyer" sweet spot — every cart item amount and total_value
+ * gets boosted ~25%. Users who view 9 or more items are over-engaged
+ * window-shoppers; ~30% of their checkout events are dropped (decision
+ * paralysis / browse without buy). No flag is stamped — discoverable
+ * only by binning users on view-item COUNT and comparing avg cart total.
+ *
+ * HOW TO FIND IT IN MIXPANEL:
+ *
+ *   Report 1: Avg Cart Total by View-Item Bucket
+ *   - Report type: Insights (with cohort)
+ *   - Cohort A: users with 3-8 "view item" events
+ *   - Cohort B: users with 0-2 "view item" events
+ *   - Event: "checkout"
+ *   - Measure: Average of "amount" (sum across cart items if exposed)
+ *   - Compare cohort A vs cohort B
+ *   - Expected: cohort A ~ 1.25x higher cart total than B
+ *
+ *   Report 2: Checkouts per User by Browse Intensity
+ *   - Report type: Insights (with cohort)
+ *   - Cohort C: users with >= 9 "view item" events
+ *   - Cohort A: users with 3-8 "view item" events
+ *   - Event: "checkout"
+ *   - Measure: Total events per user
+ *   - Compare cohort C vs cohort A
+ *   - Expected: cohort C has ~ 30% fewer checkouts per user
+ *
+ * REAL-WORLD ANALOGUE: A focused buyer who reviews a handful of items
+ * tends to convert at higher cart value; an excessive browser is a
+ * tire-kicker who abandons more often.
