Analyze patterns instead of watching sessions
Shape Beacon takes a different analytical approach: it produces compact behavioral signals and aggregate interpretations rather than visual playback or an exact reconstruction of a rendered page.
Reconstructed interaction
A replay tool visually reconstructs or displays captured interaction so someone can watch what happened on a rendered page.
Behavioral signals
Shape Beacon summarizes measurable dynamics into four dimensions and six Shape scores for comparison and aggregate analysis.
DIFFERENT QUESTIONS, DIFFERENT EVIDENCE
Shape Beacon does not capture screen recordings or reconstruct page content. Its records describe interaction dynamics through URL, timing, event count, device category, normalized metrics, and a Shape distribution.
That makes Shape Beacon useful when the question is about patterns across sessions. It does not provide the visual evidence required to recreate an individual click on a rendered interface.
Behavioral comparison
- Compare interaction patterns across experiences or UX changes.
- Understand aggregate interaction dynamics.
- Investigate unusual or automation-like behavior without claiming certainty.
- Review Page Analytics and, when the plan permits, Cross-Page and Historical Analytics.
Visual reconstruction
- Watch visual playback of a session.
- Reconstruct the exact rendered interface.
- Recreate individual clicks on page elements.
Neither behavioral analytics nor visual replay can prove a visitor's intent.
A signal designed for comparison
Each qualifying page session is summarized across Steady, Burst, Drift, Chaotic, Flat, and Ambient. The dominant Shape is the strongest measured pattern, not a verdict about the visitor.
Free includes Page Analytics. Paid plans add Cross-Page and Historical Analytics; consult current pricing and capability details rather than assuming every view is available on every plan.
