“The assessment showed our mobile browse-to-desktop checkout path was splitting sessions at login. We fixed the identity rule first; the rest of the roadmap made more sense after that. I would have liked a shorter findings pack, though the detail helped our engineers.”

Evidence from recent engagements
Reviews reference specific session breaks, dictionaries, and briefings—not generic praise. Names appear with permission from United Kingdom clients.
“Workspace Ashfield caught three event names that meant different things on iOS and web. Our sprint planning stopped arguing about phantom drop-offs once the dictionary matched.”
“We needed language for the board that kept channel credit separate from device handoffs. The brief gave us wording we still paste into quarterly packs.”
“The workshop forced product and membership teams to walk the same phone-to-laptop renewal path. We left with a decision log instead of another inconclusive meeting.”
“They tied qualitative interview notes to the session breaks in our reporting. It was slower than a template audit, and that patience showed up in the recommendations.”
Extended note
Retail browse-to-checkout across devices
A multi-brand retailer asked Workspace Ashfield to examine why mobile product views rarely appeared in the same session as desktop purchases. The Cross-Device Session Assessment traced the break to a login wall that minted separate identifiers, plus a thirty-minute timeout that closed the phone session before shoppers reached a laptop.
Findings recommended unifying the identity rule first and adjusting the timeout second. Marketing kept its channel model unchanged; product owned the identity fix. Within one release cycle, the continuity report stopped showing phantom abandonment on the handoff step. The client still manages instrumentation in-house; our role ended at the sequenced recommendations and briefing.
