Revenue pipeline observability
Your apps can all be online while leads quietly disappear between them. Pipeline Canary continuously tests every handoff—from form to CRM to follow-up—and turns silent failures into actionable incidents.

Ready
Scroll to run the check
A clearly-labelled synthetic lead enters through the real form. Each handoff is verified against its own deadline before the next one is allowed to count.

Invisible failures
Uptime monitoring watches services. Revenue leaks between them — in the gaps where one system hands work to the next and nothing is watching the seam.
01
A hidden validation rule rejects the record after the browser has already shown a confirmation. Analytics counts a conversion. The CRM never sees a contact, so nothing downstream can notice the gap.
02
The round-robin still points at somebody who left. The workflow reports success because it ran; the contact sits with no owner, and an unowned lead has nobody responsible for following it up.
03
Assignment worked, so every dashboard is green. The follow-up sequence failed to enrol, no human has been told, and the response SLA is burning down in the background.
Each trace above is a representative example of a failure class, not a record from a real customer system.
How it works
Detection is deterministic: explicit checks, explicit thresholds, explicit windows. A model may help you read the evidence afterwards — it never decides whether something failed.
A clearly labelled synthetic lead enters through your real acquisition path.
Reserved domain · excluded from reporting · rate limited · kill switch
Synthetic identity
A reserved .invalid domain. It cannot resolve, so a canary can never become a conversation with a person.
Deterministic checks verify capture, attribution, routing and response.
Every verdict records what was checked, what was found and which threshold applied
| Time | Event | Verdict | Threshold |
|---|---|---|---|
| 09:27:01 | form.accepted | Healthy | within 15s deadline |
| 09:27:03 | contact.created | Healthy | attribution fields present |
| 09:27:33 | contact.assigned | Incident | deadline 90s · owner_id null |
| 09:27:33 | response.logged | Unknown | not reached |
A verdict is a threshold comparison, not an opinion. response.logged is unknown rather than failed, because the journey stopped before that check could run.
The right owner gets the failure, evidence and next action — not another dashboard.

Incident demo
Nobody watches a dashboard at nine in the morning on the day it matters. Pipeline Canary produces one thing instead: a failure with its evidence attached and a first move already chosen.
New contacts from the UK paid-search form are being created without an owner.

Coverage
Every entry below is written as the failure it catches, because that is the only form in which a monitor is worth buying. The signal underneath each one is the rule that fires it.
01
A form that returns success while the record is silently rejected downstream.
Signal
form.accepted with no matching contact.created inside the deadline
02
Contacts created with no owner, or an owner nobody is watching.
Signal
contact.created without contact.assigned past the routing threshold
03
First-touch time slipping past the promise your team sells on.
Signal
assignment-to-response elapsed, measured in business hours
04
Campaign fields dropped in transit, quietly corrupting spend decisions.
Signal
required utm / form_id fields absent on newly created contacts
05
Deals parked in a stage with no next step and no forward motion.
Signal
open deals with stage age beyond limit or nextStepAt in the past
06
Closed-won deals that never turn into a payment record.
Signal
deal.won with no payment.created after the grace period
Trust by design
Anything permitted to page a human at three in the morning has to be legible afterwards. Not just correct — legible. The person who got out of bed needs to see which rule fired, over what window, and what it found.
An alert you cannot audit is only a rumour with a pager.
01
Every verdict records what was checked, what was found, which threshold applied and over what window. If you cannot audit the rule, you cannot trust the page it renders — so the rule is always on the page.
02
A check with too little evidence reports unknown and never passes by default. A monitor that says “healthy” because no data arrived is worse than no monitor at all, because it spends your attention and returns nothing.
03
Canaries use reserved domains that cannot deliver mail, carry a visible token in every field, are excluded from reporting and revenue, and are bounded by a rate limit and a kill switch. A synthetic lead must never reach a person.
04
Detection is deterministic. A model may summarise evidence already gathered or suggest where to look — it cannot decide a verdict, invent an affected record, or touch your CRM. Turn it off and nothing stops working.

None of these connections are available today. The private beta starts with one CRM and one capture path, chosen with the first teams we work with.
Why the list is not the product
The generic signed webhook is what makes this roadmap credible: anything that can POST JSON can be monitored from day one. The branded connectors above are convenience, not a prerequisite.
No integration listed here is currently available. Names are shown to describe intent, and no partnership, endorsement or compatibility is implied.
Private beta
These numbers are a starting position, not an offer. If the shape is wrong for how your team works, that is exactly the sort of thing the beta conversation is for.
£49/month
One acquisition path, watched properly.

Questions
Written for the person who has to defend the purchase internally, not for a search engine.
No. Pipeline Canary does not store your leads, report on your funnel, or try to replace anything you already look at. It watches the handoffs between your systems and produces one artefact: an incident with evidence, an affected-record list and a first thing to check.
Something we have not answered? .
Help shape Pipeline Canary around the handoffs your team cannot afford to lose.
