How to Use
Analyze attribution for this closed-won deal:
Deal: [Company Name]
Value: $[Amount]
Close Date: [Date]
Sales Cycle: [Days]
Touchpoint Journey:
1. [Date] - [Channel] - [Action]
2. [Date] - [Channel] - [Action]
...
[List all touchpoints chronologically]
Questions:
- Which channels deserve credit?
- Compare first-touch vs last-touch
- Recommend budget allocation
Instructions
Step 1: Understand Attribution Models
| Model | Logic | Best For |
|-------|-------|----------|
| First-Touch | 100% to first interaction | Awareness measurement |
| Last-Touch | 100% to final conversion | Direct response |
| Linear | Equal split across all | Long consideration cycles |
| Time-Decay | More credit to recent | Sales-assisted journeys |
| Position-Based | 40/20/40 (first/middle/last) | Balanced view |
| W-Shaped | 30/30/30 + 10 remainder | Include MQL moment |
Step 2: Map the Customer Journey
Document all touchpoints with:
- Timestamp - When it occurred
- Channel - Source (Paid, Organic, Email, Event, etc.)
- Action - What happened (visit, download, demo, etc.)
- Stage - Awareness, Consideration, Decision
Step 3: Apply Attribution Model
First-Touch Example:
Journey: Paid Search → Email → Webinar → Demo → Close
Revenue: $50,000
First-Touch Attribution:
- Paid Search: $50,000 (100%)
- All others: $0
Linear Example:
Same journey, 4 touchpoints:
- Paid Search: $12,500 (25%)
- Email: $12,500 (25%)
- Webinar: $12,500 (25%)
- Demo: $12,500 (25%)
Position-Based (40/20/40):
- Paid Search: $20,000 (40% - first)
- Email: $5,000 (10% - middle)
- Webinar: $5,000 (10% - middle)
- Demo: $20,000 (40% - last)
Step 4: Aggregate by Channel
Sum attribution across all deals to see total channel contribution:
Channel Performance (Position-Based):
- Paid Search: $500K attributed (35%)
- Events: $300K attributed (21%)
- Organic: $280K attributed (19%)
- Email: $220K attributed (15%)
- Referral: $150K attributed (10%)
Step 5: Calculate ROI by Channel
Channel ROI = Attributed Revenue / Channel Spend
Example:
- Paid Search: $500K revenue / $100K spend = 5x ROI
- Events: $300K revenue / $200K spend = 1.5x ROI
Examples
Example 1: Deal-Level Attribution
Input:
Analyze attribution for TechStart Inc:
Deal: TechStart Inc
Value: $75,000 ARR
Close Date: March 15
Sales Cycle: 62 days
Touchpoint Journey:
1. Jan 12 - Google Ads - Clicked ad, visited pricing
2. Jan 15 - Organic Search - Blog post read
3. Jan 22 - LinkedIn Ad - Whitepaper download (MQL)
4. Feb 1 - Email nurture - Opened 3 emails
5. Feb 10 - Webinar - Attended "Product Demo Day"
6. Feb 18 - Direct - Requested demo (SQL)
7. Mar 5 - Sales - Discovery call
8. Mar 12 - Sales - Proposal review
9. Mar 15 - Direct - Signed contract
Compare first-touch, last-touch, and position-based.
Output:
## Attribution Analysis: TechStart Inc ($75,000)
### Journey Summary

### Model Comparison
| Channel | First-Touch | Last-Touch | Position-Based | Linear |
|---------|-------------|------------|----------------|--------|
| Google Ads | $75,000 | $0 | $22,500 | $8,333 |
| Organic Search | $0 | $0 | $3,750 | $8,333 |

| Direct (Demo) | $0 | $0 | $7,500 | $8,333 |
| Sales | $0 | $75,000 | $26,250 | $25,000 |
### Position-Based Breakdown (Recommended)
**First Touch (30%): $22,500**
- Google Ads gets full first-touch credit
- Drove initial awareness and pricing interest
**MQL Touch (30%): $22,500**
- LinkedIn Ads: $15,000 (whitepaper = MQL)
- Webinar: $7,500 (influenced SQL)
**Last Touch (30%): $22,500**
- Demo Request: $7,500
- Sales (Close): $15,000
**Middle Touches (10%): $7,500**

1. **Google Ads** initiated the journey - valuable for awareness
2. **LinkedIn Ads** drove the MQL - critical conversion point
3. **Sales** closed but didn't initiate - last-touch overstates
4. **Email** nurtured but didn't convert alone - assist role
### Channel Recommendations
| Channel | Attribution | Action |
|---------|-------------|--------|
| Google Ads | High first-touch | Maintain/increase for awareness |
| LinkedIn Ads | High MQL driver | Invest more for lead gen |
| Webinar | Solid influence | Continue as mid-funnel |
| Email | Assist role | Optimize, don't cut |
