Attribution models, explained without the vendor jargon
Last-click, linear, time-decay, data-driven — what each one assumes, and when that assumption breaks.
Last-click gives full credit to the final touchpoint before conversion — simple, but it undercounts channels that open a journey rather than close it.
Data-driven attribution, where enough conversion volume exists to train it reliably, is generally the most defensible model. With low conversion volume, a simpler model is both more transparent and more stable.
