Revenue attribution alternative for operators
The alternative is not more charts. It is fewer guesses.

The old workflow is broken
Most operators stitch together a traffic dashboard, an ad account, a checkout tool, and a spreadsheet. Each system tells part of the truth, then the founder has to guess which channel actually created profitable customers.
- Ad tools over-credit their own campaigns
- Traffic tools stop before payment quality
- Payment tools record money without source context
- Spreadsheets lag behind refunds and renewals
What the replacement has to do
A real alternative starts with revenue and keeps acquisition context attached. Source, campaign, landing page, customer, transaction, refund, renewal, and confidence need to live in the same reporting path.
- Show revenue by first-touch source
- Split new revenue, renewals, refunds, and chargebacks
