Mediation Fit Assessment — Funnel Scoring Logic

A funnel-friendly quiz should avoid ejecting users early. Instead of exiting on the first NO, assign weighted scores and only route users after the full assessment. This keeps users engaged and increases downstream conversions.

Below is a conversion-optimized scoring model.

Mediation Fit Assessment — Funnel Scoring Logic

1. Response Values

Response Score Interpretation
YES 2 points Positive indicator for mediation
MAYBE 1 point Possible red flag
NO 0 points Strong risk factor

25 questions → maximum score = 50

2. Critical Red Flag Questions

Some issues are structural barriers to mediation.
If a NO appears in these questions, it triggers stronger warnings but does not exit the quiz.

Critical Questions

  • Do both parties agree to mediation?
  • Are both parties able to negotiate without intimidation or fear?
  • Are both parties able to make decisions without outside pressure?
  • Are both parties willing to share financial information openly?
  • Are both parties willing to disclose all assets and debts?

Logic

Condition Action
1 red flag show caution message
2+ red flags strong warning
3+ red flags route toward attorney consultation funnel

Revised Funnel Logic

Response Scoring

Response Score Meaning
YES 2 Mediation-friendly indicator
MAYBE 1 Potential complication
NO 0 Indicates higher-complexity divorce

But NO does not disqualify the user.

Instead it identifies cases that require more structured and expensive services.

Service Tracks (End Pages)

Track 1 — Mediation Path

Score: 40–50

Positioning

Primary CTA

Score: 30–39

Some complexity exists but mediation may still work with professional structure.

Positioning

Your responses suggest mediation may still work, but additional structure or professional guidance may be helpful.

CTA

  • Attend Divorce Mediation Seminar

  • Schedule Mediator Consultation

Track 3 — Advisory Divorce Path

Score: 20–29

CTA

  • Request Divorce Strategy Consultation

Track 4 — Attorney-Led Divorce Path

Score: 0–19

CTA

  • Have a Divorce Attorney Contact Me

Critical Red Flag Escalation

Certain answers increase the likelihood of Track 3 or Track 4, even if the score is moderate.

Examples:

  • intimidation or fear

  • unwillingness to participate
