The direct answer

Starting a form can indicate interest but does not show that the request reached the team. Reporting needs a distinct completion condition.

What to check

Compare event definitions for field interaction, button click, accepted submission and delivery. Check whether failures still fire a success event.

What to do next

Record completion only at the appropriate verified stage. Keep funnel steps separate so the team can see where customers stop without overstating lead totals.
