How We Stabilized a £2M/Day E-Commerce Checkout That Was Losing 8% of Orders

A UK e-commerce company with £2M in daily transaction volume was silently losing 8% of checkout completions. The issue had existed for 11 months. Three investigations had found nothing. Customer complaints were attributed to "user error."

Result: Checkout completion: 92% → 99.4% in 72 hours. Estimated recovery: £160,000/day. Fix took 3 days. Investigation took 1 week.
