Use the real product. Make the demo a guided incident, not a fake dashboard.
Verdict: the strongest funnel is a real seeded demo project on a separate demo account: visitors can query, replay, investigate, inspect memory, and see task evidence. They cannot push logs. The moment they want their own data, they create a generous free workspace.
Recommended demo architecture
Visitor funnel
Landing hook
“Never debug the same production bug twice.” CTA: Open live demo.
Guided incident
Checkout failure after deploy. Mission: find cause and inspect saved fix.
Real product read
Query, replay, diff, top, timeline, investigate, memory, saved views.
Locked write moment
Push logs / connect Jira / save workspace action asks for free account.
Activation
Free workspace → token/snippet → first log → first meaningful view.
What is worth adding around the demo
| Asset / feature | Why it matters | How it should work in demo | Priority |

Flagship sample incident
Checkout failures after deploy
Deploy marker at 13:58. Warnings start. Stripe/webhook latency appears. Retry storm. DB pool saturation. Checkout 500s. Recovery. Three weeks later, same fingerprint returns and Loguro links it to the original task and fix.

Implementation checklist for local demo project
create Acme Checkout Demo project
seed logs through real ingestion/storage path
seed deploy markers + recurring fingerprints
seed cached investigations + task memory
seed saved views + pins + share artifacts
block: ingest/api keys/settings/integrations/deletes/billing/invites
simulate: task creation, send to Slack/Discord/Telegram
CTA: create free workspace to push real logs
