Controlled geo-holdout experiments measure the true causal impact of specific channels. Validates MMM outputs with experimental proof.

Calibrated Attribution

Daily and weekly campaign optimization anchored to MMM and incrementality data, ensuring attribution becomes reliable rather than arbitrary.
