What it does

Generate multi-touch attribution analysis with model comparison

Best for

Marketing leaders defending budget allocation to executives, where multi-touch comparison reveals that last-click dramatically undercredits awareness and consideration channels.

Inputs
  • · Two or more attribution models to compare (first-touch, last-touch, linear, time-decay, position-based, data-driven)
  • · Conversion events to attribute (purchases, signups, leads, custom events with optional revenue)
  • · Time period (date range or relative period)
  • · Conversion window (7/14/30/90 days lookback)
  • · Channels to include (or all if unrestricted)
Outputs
  • · Multi-model comparison showing revenue allocated to each channel under each model
  • · Attribution bias analysis (reveals positional bias of each model)
  • · Conversion path identification and frequency
  • · Channel contribution ranking per model (which channel 'wins' under which model)
  • · Budget reallocation recommendations based on data-driven vs actual spend
  • · Anomaly flagging (channels that look healthy under last-click but weak under multi-touch)
Requires
  • · Google Analytics MCP (conversion paths, multi-channel funnel reports, assisted conversion data)
  • · Google Ads MCP (search attribution reports, cross-network attribution)
  • · Meta MCP (view-through and click-through attribution data)
  • · CRM MCP (deal stage progression with marketing touchpoint timestamps)
Preconditions
  • · Analytics tools are connected via MCPs
  • · Conversion events are properly tagged in GA4 and CRM
  • · Customer journeys are stitched across platforms (at least within single user ID)
  • · At least 100+ conversion paths available for analysis (smaller samples are unreliable)
  • · Time period has sufficient data for comparison
Failure modes
  • · Data misses cross-platform journeys (GA4 sees web, CRM sees sales, no link between them)
  • · Conversion window too short for actual sales cycle (7 days on 90-day B2B cycle)
  • · Models compared without understanding which reflects actual customer behavior
  • · Budget reallocation recommendations applied without validating on new spend (risk of worse performance)
  • · Anomalies misinterpreted (e.g., last-touch looks weak because it captures budget burnout, not failure)
Trust signals
  • · Seven attribution models implemented: first-touch, last-touch, linear, time-decay, position-based, data-driven, marketing mix modeling
  • · Explicit counterfactual analysis in data-driven model (shows what happens if channel is removed)
  • · Channel-level CAC recalculation under each model
  • · Conversion window explicitly configurable to match actual sales cycle
