The Black-Box Problem

Most attribution platforms give you a number without explanation:

"Your Meta ROAS is 3.2x"

But when you ask why, you get silence.

The ArchwayAI Approach

Every metric is explainable:

// Example: Order attribution trace
{
  orderId: "ORD-12345",
  revenue: 149.99,
  touchpoints: [
    { channel: "Meta", timestamp: "2025-01-10T10:00:00Z", cost: 5.50 },
    { channel: "Google", timestamp: "2025-01-10T14:00:00Z", cost: 3.20 },
  ],
  attributionModel: "time-decay",
  attributedChannel: "Meta",
  attributedCost: 4.12,
  ROAS: 36.4
}

Public Data Contracts

Our event schemas are versioned and public:

  • No mystery math
  • No proprietary algorithms
  • Full transparency

Daily Reconciliation

We compare:

  • Shopify total revenue: $50,000
  • ArchwayAI tracked revenue: $49,975
  • Delta: 0.05% ✅

Trust Through Verification

When your CFO asks, "Can we trust these numbers?" — you can show them the math.
