Quality Checklist
- All active channels are included
- Metrics are compared to benchmarks or prior periods
- Attribution model is stated and consistent
- Recommendations are data-driven, not opinion-based
- Funnel bottlenecks are identified with specific actions
- CAC and ROAS are calculated correctly
Edge Cases
- New channel with limited data: Flag as "insufficient data for conclusions"; recommend test duration
- Attribution complexity: State which model is used; acknowledge limitations
- B2B with long sales cycles: Use pipeline metrics, not just closed revenue
- Brand campaigns: Use proxy metrics (brand search volume, direct traffic) since direct ROAS is misleading
