SHAPE Beacon
Web behavioral dynamics.
We don't track users. We track shapes.
Traditional analytics tell you who clicked and when. Shape Beacon transforms browser interactions into a compact behavioral signal.
A Shape is a behavioral interaction pattern derived from measurable dynamics such as mouse movement, scrolling, rhythm, and coherence. Shape Beacon classifies these patterns without collecting invasive raw data.
Engineered For
- Bot & Abuse Detection: Surface unusual or automation-like interaction patterns for investigation.
- UX Friction Research: Compare measured behavior before and after UX changes or across experiences.
- Session Quality Analysis: Evaluate traffic through behavioral patterns, not pageviews alone.
- AI-Ready Features: Feed structured behavioral data directly into your models.
Sub-1KB Payload
Designed for minimal Core Web Vitals impact. Highly efficient and private telemetry.
Session-Scoped Continuity
Uses sessionStorage only for an anonymous Domain Session ID across same-tab navigation. No tracking cookies or persistent cross-site identity.
Reliable Delivery
Uses the browser's navigator.sendBeacon API for dependable background transmission.
The Output
Each Shape distribution summarizes the interaction patterns observed during one page session. The dominant Shape is the strongest pattern in that session. This compact behavioral summary is ready for dashboard analysis or LLM processing. It is not a replay or content capture.
