AI for GTM Engineers: Audit Your Stack, Find Funnel Leaks, and Ship Launches Faster
You ship product like an engineer. You run GTM like it's a side project.
Your UTMs are duct-taped across 4 tools. Your attribution model is a guess wrapped in a spreadsheet. Half your signup funnel has no analytics. And the last time someone audited the growth tech stack? Nobody remembers.
Here's what GTM engineering actually looks like when you stop winging it.
The Stack Audit Nobody Does
Every GTM team has a tech stack. Almost none of them have audited it.
The typical growth stack has 8-12 tools. Analytics, CRM, email, ads, landing pages, event tracking, product analytics, billing. They were added over 18 months by 4 different people. Nobody documented the integrations.
The result: data flows that nobody fully understands, duplicate events firing from two different sources, and entire user actions that simply aren't tracked.
One GTM engineer ran an automated stack audit and found:
- 3 tools doing the same job (tracking page views)
- A broken Segment integration that silently dropped 12% of events
- Zero tracking on the pricing page-to-checkout transition — the single most valuable funnel step
That last one had been missing for 7 months. Every decision about pricing page optimization was based on incomplete data.
The Funnel Drop-Off Problem
Here's a question most PLG teams can't answer: where exactly do users drop off between signup and first value?
Not "somewhere in onboarding." The exact step. The exact percentage.
Most teams instrument the top (signups) and the bottom (paid conversions) and then guess about the 6-8 steps in between. They call it a "funnel" but it's really just two data points with a gap.
A GTM team analyzed their funnel step by step and found that 34% of users dropped off at email verification. Not because the flow was broken — the confirmation email was landing in Gmail's Promotions tab. A sender reputation fix that cost $0 recovered a third of their signups.
Another team found that users who completed the product tour activated at 4x the rate of those who skipped it — but the tour was hidden behind a "?" icon in the corner. Moving it to a modal on first login doubled activation.
These aren't clever growth hacks. They're basic funnel engineering that requires data nobody was collecting.
The Competitor Black Box
Your competitor grew 3x last year. You have no idea how.
Was it the pricing change? The new trial mechanic? The onboarding flow redesign? The referral program? All of the above?
Traditional competitive analysis is a 20-hour project that produces a deck nobody reads. By the time it's done, the competitor has already shipped something new.
Automated competitor GTM teardowns work differently. They reverse-engineer the entire motion from the outside in: pricing page structure, trial mechanics, onboarding flow, growth loops, upgrade prompts, and referral incentives. In 20 minutes.
One team discovered that their top competitor offered a 14-day trial with no credit card — while they required a card on day 1. They ran the experiment. Free trial conversions went up 60%. Paid conversions after trial? Down only 8%. Net positive by a mile.
They would never have tested this without seeing the competitor do it first.
The Attribution Mess
Here's a dirty secret: most companies' attribution data is wrong.
Not slightly wrong. Fundamentally wrong. Campaigns with no UTMs. UTMs with typos. Events firing from staging environments. Organic traffic miscategorized as direct because referrer headers were stripped.
The average marketing team has 15-25% of their ad spend misattributed. That means every decision about "what's working" is based on data that's 15-25% wrong.
An automated attribution audit catches these issues: broken UTM parameters, untagged campaigns, mismatched event names, and revenue that's attributed to the wrong source. One team found that their "best performing" Facebook campaign was actually cannibalizing organic traffic — users who would have signed up anyway were clicking an ad first.
They reallocated $4K/month to channels that were actually driving incremental signups.
The Launch That Ships Like Product
Product engineers have CI/CD, feature flags, and runbooks. GTM engineers have... a Google Doc and a Slack thread.
Every launch is a fire drill. Tracking isn't set up until day 3. Success metrics aren't defined until the retro. The channel strategy is "post it on Twitter and send an email."
A launch playbook generator changes this. It takes your product details and generates a complete GTM plan: channel strategy based on your audience, a timeline with dependencies, a tracking plan with specific events to instrument, and success metrics with thresholds.
Ship your go-to-market like you ship product. Instrumented, tested, and automated.
What These Use Cases Have in Common
Every GTM engineering use case shares three traits:
- Data-dependent — You can't optimize what you can't measure, and most teams aren't measuring correctly
- Repetitive analysis — Stack audits, funnel reviews, attribution checks, launch prep — these happen (or should happen) regularly
- Compound returns — Each fix makes the next one more impactful because the data gets cleaner
Running GTM Engineering Securely
These agents access analytics platforms, ad accounts, billing data, and customer information. Security isn't optional.
What you need:
- Encrypted credentials — API keys for your analytics and ad platforms stored in a vault, not plaintext
- Audit logging — Every query the agent runs is recorded
- Read-only access — GTM analysis agents should observe, not modify
- Network controls — The agent can only reach the platforms it needs
Clawctl provides all of this out of the box.

- Start with a stack audit — it's the fastest way to find blind spots
The team that found the broken Segment integration started with a stack audit. The team that fixed email verification started with funnel analysis. The team that reallocated $4K/month started with an attribution audit.
