Estimate the effect of unclassified traffic

See how missing attribution can change a channel decision.

Measure what is missing first

Record the share of orders or visits without a reliable source. If $5,000 of $40,000 in net revenue is unclassified, 12.5% is outside any channel allocation. That revenue still belongs in the business total.

Measure what is missing first. Check whether missingness is concentrated. Show decision sensitivity.

Check whether missingness is concentrated

Compare entry pages, device types, and dates. A rise after an email system migration suggests different work from a stable share across channels. Verify one consented tagged path and inspect redirects without collecting extra personal data.

Show decision sensitivity

If two channels differ by $600 in attributed revenue and the unclassified pool is $5,000, the ranking could change under plausible allocations. Show the unassigned amount explicitly and use independent evidence before moving significant spend.
