What this audit covers

  • ROAS, CPA, and LTV recalculation. Independent calculation of platform-reported performance using your source-of-truth sales data.
  • Cross-platform deduplication. Order-level deduplication using server-side logs and privacy-safe clean rooms where available.
  • Incrementality test validation. We design or audit holdout, geo-split, and time-based experiments to establish counterfactuals.
  • Attribution window standardisation. A consistent attribution framework applied across every channel.
  • Revenue-to-platform reconciliation. Platform-credited conversions reconciled to recognised revenue.
How we work

The phases of the engagement.

01

Conversion and revenue extracts

Platform conversion exports plus your enterprise sales records, pulled directly.

02

Order-level deduplication

Multiple credits collapsed to a single attributable order using shared identifiers.

03

Counterfactual design

Holdouts, geo splits, and time-based pauses to measure what would have happened anyway.

04

Credited vs. incremental

A two-column comparison: what platforms claim, versus what the test evidence supports.

What you’ll get

  • A two-column report: platform-credited results alongside independently verified incremental results.
  • A dollar value placed on credit inflation across each channel.
  • Recommended attribution windows and incrementality thresholds for the next 12 months.
  • Channel-level reallocation recommendations grounded in incremental return.
What we typically find

The recurring patterns we surface.

Branded search inflation

Branded search reports strong CPA while harvesting demand created by other channels or by offline factors.

Retargeting on existing customers

Retargeting budgets concentrate on people who would have purchased anyway. Reported ROAS strong; incremental return weak.

Modeled conversions presented as observed

Confidence drops as identity matching erodes; the slides stay green; incremental impact is not validated.

Inconsistent attribution windows

One platform credits a 28-day view; another a 7-day click. Same order, multiple credits, no reconciliation.
