"Mrs. Sofarelli explained that the Admissions Office uses a funnel modeling system where at the opening of the funnel are a large pool of prospective students. [...] The hope is that the bottom of the funnel will produce a group of applicants that have
diverse backgrounds." (http://www.westminstercollege.edu/pdf/diversity/diversity-vo...

I'm guessing 'Funnelmodellierung' actually started as an English term.

agree  Cetacea: Yes, "Funnelmodellierung" sounds like some marketing genius couldn't admit he didn't know enough English to know the German word for funnel, since there is such a thing as "Trichtermodell" in German, too...
