Every platform claims the same sale.The math never adds up.
Platform ROAS is inflated.
Meta says 4.2x. Google says 3.8x. TikTok claims its share. Sum the platform reports and the attributed revenue runs 30 to 70 percent above what Shopify actually booked.
Credit-stealing is the default.
Brand searches, repeat buyers, and organic demand get rolled into ad-driven conversions. A meaningful slice of every account is non-incremental spend the platforms are happy to claim.
Cross-channel effects stay invisible.
Meta prospecting feeds Google brand. TikTok awareness feeds Meta retargeting. Platform dashboards do not see across each other and cannot reconcile the overlap.
Last-click is dead and still in use.
Most teams know last-click is broken. The alternatives required a data team, a holdout, and weeks of reporting. So million-dollar decisions keep running on the wrong number.
What Parker ships
Five capabilities.One reconciled view of truth.
Each capability maps to a specific job: attribute across platforms, strip the inflation, reconcile against finance, alert on the gap, and feed the rest of the workforce.
Multi-touch attribution
A single attribution graph across Meta, Google, and TikTok, deduped against Shopify orders so no conversion gets counted twice.
Per-channel and per-campaign credit
Cross-channel overlap quantified
Every adjustment traceable to source
Example. Meta 4.2x and Google 3.8x reconciled to one 2.1x blended view
De-biased ROAS
Brand cannibalization, repeat buyers, view-through, and promo pull-forward stripped out layer by layer until only incremental revenue remains.
Brand search demand removed from paid credit
Repeat-customer purchases reclassified
View-through inflation discounted
Example. 4.2x platform ROAS resolves to 1.8x true incremental
Daily finance reconciliation
Platform-claimed revenue reconciled against Shopify orders every morning. The gap is the inflation number, sized in dollars.
Order-level match against Shopify
Inflation gap reported as a dollar figure
Refunds and chargebacks netted out
Example. $184K platform-claimed against $112K Shopify-booked, gap logged
Divergence alerts
When platform claims drift from real lift, the alert fires within 24 hours, not at month-end close.
Threshold breaches routed to Slack
Routes to Felix for forecast impact
Routes to Sam when scenarios depend on it
Example. Meta lift gap widened 14 points overnight, flagged at 7:12 AM
Workforce-aware
Feeds Felix the de-biased baseline, validates Sam's scenarios, and trusts Dana's reconciled inputs. No silo, no double-counted revenue.
Felix forecasts on real lift, not platform fiction
Sam scenarios priced against true incremental
Dana's pipeline is the single source of truth
Example. Sam tested a 30% Meta shift; Parker priced incremental, not claimed
A typical week
What Parker doeswhile the team sleeps.
One workweek, hour by hour. Specific numbers vary by account.
Mon · 3:48 AM
Reconciled
Pulls overnight platform claims from Meta, Google, and TikTok and matches them order-by-order against Shopify's booked revenue.
Mon · 5:22 AM
Verified
Strips brand-search cannibalization out of Google credit. Logs the adjusted lift and the dollars removed.
Mon · 7:05 AM
Flagged
Detects 18 percent inflation gap on Meta retargeting overnight. Most of the lift is repeat buyers who were already in the funnel.
Mon · 9:34 AM
Delivered
Felix asks for the de-biased baseline before the weekly forecast. Parker hands over a 1.9x blended ROAS, not the 3.4x the platforms are reporting.
Mon · 11:47 AM
Flagged
TikTok view-through claims diverged 22 points from Shopify match. Routed to Slack with the channel breakdown attached.
Tue · 4:55 AM
Validated
Sam's +30% Meta scenario lands. Parker validates the assumed lift against the last 90 days of incremental data and returns a reality-checked range.
Tue · 8:00 AM
Delivered
Delivers the weekly attribution recap to Slack. Inflation gap sized in dollars, two divergences logged, one campaign quietly killed for non-incremental spend.
Attribution math
From 4.2x platform ROASto 1.8x reconciled truth.
Attribution is not a single number. Parker walks the gap from what the platforms claim to what Shopify actually booked, layer by layer. Stage values below are illustrative; specific numbers vary by account.
Platforms claim
4.2x
Sum of what Meta, Google, and TikTok report. Includes brand searches, repeat buyers, and view-throughs the platforms counted as their own.
Real lift
2.4x
Brand cannibalization and repeat-buyer credit stripped out. What remains is closer to genuinely influenced demand, but still not the final number.
Inflation gap
$72K
Example dollar gap between platform-claimed revenue and Shopify-booked revenue for the period. The size of the lie, priced.
Reconciled
1.8x
True incremental ROAS, matched order-by-order against Shopify. The only number to scale against. Felix forecasts on this; Sam tests scenarios against this.
Multi-touch attribution + Shopify order match, recalculated nightly
What's underneath
Real reconciliation.Not a platform mirror.
Parker runs on a purpose-built attribution stack: multi-touch graphs, Shopify-grounded reconciliation, and shared memory across the workforce.
Reads from
Meta, Google, and TikTok ad platforms via OAuth. Dana feeds reconciled, deduped events so the attribution graph never trains on noise.
OAuth-based, no warehouse copy
Reports to
Slack for divergence alerts and the weekly recap. Sheets for the reconciled attribution table the finance team actually opens.
Inflation gap delivered as a dollar figure, not a chart
Collaborates with
Felix forecasts on Parker's de-biased baseline. Dana keeps inputs clean upstream. Sam validates scenarios against real lift before pricing them.
Shared memory, not message-passing
Built on
Multi-touch attribution graph with finance reconciliation. Platform claims matched order-by-order against Shopify and netted of refunds.
Reconciled nightly, calibration sharpens weekly
