Business Impact
3

Moderate impact. Meaningful cost or revenue improvement, likely noticeable at function level but modest relative to total business scale.

Feasibility
4

Relatively straightforward. Off-the-shelf tools handle the core task. Implementation is well-understood with good examples to follow.

Data Readiness
3

Moderate data needs. Works with data most businesses hold, but will likely need consolidation, cleaning, or reformatting before use.

Risk Exposure
5

Very low risk. Fully internal use. A person checks everything before it goes further. Worst case is a minor internal inconvenience.

Change Complexity
4

Light people impact. A new tool slots into an existing workflow. Minimal training needed. Most people will adapt quickly.

Things to consider

  • Multi-channel data aggregation is the main technical challenge — data from Meta, Google, TikTok, and affiliates sits in different platforms with different attribution models.

  • Attribution is inherently contested. The AI can summarise what the data shows within each platform's model; it cannot reconcile competing attribution claims across platforms without a defined methodology.

  • The analysis is most valuable when focused on a specific decision: 'should we shift budget from Meta to Google this week?' rather than 'tell me how performance is going'.

  • Last-click attribution, which most ad platforms default to, systematically overstates the contribution of lower-funnel channels and understates upper-funnel activity. Be explicit with the AI about which attribution approach to use and why.

  • Experiment starter: Export one month of cross-channel paid data into a single structured file. Prompt an LLM to identify the three largest efficiency gaps (channels or campaigns significantly above or below average ROAS) and draft a one-page reallocation rationale. Test the recommendation in the following month and compare outcomes.
