Attribution & Instrumentation
Tie every dollar to a number your board trusts.
You can't scale what you can't measure. We build the measurement layer that connects UTM to site to product usage to pipeline to revenue — so budget decisions stop being guesses.
Why this breaks
The pattern we see over and over
Attribution stops at the lead
You know which channel filled the form. You have no idea which channel actually closed the deal.
Product usage is invisible to GTM
Users are voting with their behavior — signups, activation, expansion signals — and none of it reaches sales in time to matter.
Reporting shows activity, not causality
Every board meeting rebuilds the same spreadsheet from scratch because no one fully trusts the existing dashboard.
What's inside
Six modules, built for your stage
Full-funnel tracking setup
One tracking plan from first touch to closed-won: standardized UTMs, the four load-bearing events (form, meeting, opportunity, closed-won/lost), and a single identity spine joining every tool.
Product-to-revenue attribution
Your activation event defined precisely, product usage wired to CRM accounts, and a product-qualified-lead view that routes hot accounts to sales while they're still warm.
Board-ready dashboards
One funnel view — visitor → lead → meeting → opportunity → revenue, by source — that replaces every competing spreadsheet in the building.
Data-quality governance
Automated QA on UTMs, required CRM fields, and a weekly 'unknown source' rate check, so the system stays trustworthy instead of rotting silently.
Multi-touch & influence modeling
First-touch to know what starts journeys, influenced-revenue to know what helps them close — calibrated against real win interviews, not a black-box model.
Incrementality & budget reallocation
A standing monthly ritual that turns the attribution model into an actual budget decision, with holdout tests on your biggest channel when the stakes justify it.
How it runs
From kickoff to compounding
Weeks 0–3 · Map & wire
The spine goes live
Funnel mapped end to end, UTM convention enforced, and the four core events instrumented so every lead and deal carries its source.
Weeks 4–6 · Connect product
Usage joins revenue
Activation and usage events wired to CRM accounts. First product-qualified-lead view ships to sales.
Ongoing · Govern
Monthly reallocation ritual
A standing review of channel performance against real pipeline and revenue — with budget actually moving as a result.

Questions
Before you book a call
We already have Google Analytics and a CRM — isn't that enough?
Usually not on its own — the gap is almost always in the joins between tools (form → CRM → product → pipeline), not in any single tool. We wire the identity spine that connects what you already have.
Do we need a CDP or expensive tooling?
Rarely at seed/Series A. A well-configured CRM plus disciplined UTM and event hygiene covers most of the value. We only recommend new tooling when the stage genuinely calls for it.
How long until we can trust the dashboard?
The core funnel view typically ships in the first two to three weeks. Full confidence — including a low 'unknown source' rate — usually takes a full quarter of governance.
What if our sales team won't adopt new CRM fields?
We design the minimum viable field set and automate capture wherever possible, so adoption doesn't depend on reps remembering to fill something in manually.
Often paired with
The other two systems
Fractional CMO / Growth
Most early-stage teams don't need another marketer — they need someone who's run growth before to set the strategy, own the roadmap, and make the calls that compound. That's what we embed.
AI Agents for Marketing
Custom AI agents that take the repetitive marketing work off your plate — reporting, content, campaign ops — so your team spends its hours on judgment, not execution.
