Hey Revgenius members! 👋 Do you feel like attribution has made GTM decisions clearer, or just more detailed? We’ve gotten much better at tracking the buyer journey across channels and touchpoints, but it still feels difficult to separate contribution from actual impact. Attribution helps explain what happened, but not always what to do next. How are you approaching this, especially when it comes to budget allocation and channel prioritization?
honestly attribution tells you what happened but not why it worked. we stopped trying to get a single source of truth and just started asking "would we miss this channel if we turned it off" — way more useful for budget decisions than last-touch vs first-touch debates
Ozan D. That framing feels a lot closer to how real budget decisions actually get made. The “would we genuinely miss this if it disappeared?” question gets at causal impact way faster than endlessly debating attribution models. A lot of channels look important when they’re present everywhere in the journey, but much fewer create obvious absence when you remove them. Feels like attribution is useful context, but incrementality and removal thinking are what actually sharpen prioritization.
