Enable data-driven marketing investment by:

1. Accurately attributing revenue to touchpoints
2. Comparing attribution model outcomes
3. Identifying high-performing campaigns
4. Optimizing marketing spend allocation
5. Connecting marketing activities to revenue

Execution Flow

Step 1: Get Closed Deals

crm.get_closed_deals({
  period: context.period,
  outcome: "won",
  minAmount: context.minDealSize,
  includeContacts: true,
  includeTouchpoints: true
})

Step 2: Get Marketing Touchpoints

For each deal:

marketing.get_touchpoints({
  contactIds: deal.contacts.map(c => c.id),
  accountId: deal.accountId,
  dateRange: {
    start: deal.firstTouchDate,
    end: deal.closeDate
  },
  includeAnonymous: true
})

Step 3: Get Campaign Data

marketing.get_campaigns({
  period: context.period,
  includeMetrics: true,
  includeCost: true
})

Step 4: Calculate Attribution

analytics.calculate_attribution({
  deals: closedDeals,
  touchpoints: allTouchpoints,
  model: context.model || "position_based",
  parameters: {
    firstTouchWeight: 0.40,
    lastTouchWeight: 0.40,
    middleTouchWeight: 0.20,
    decayHalfLife: 7 // days for time_decay
  },
  groupBy: context.groupBy || "campaign"
})

Step 5: Apply Attribution Logic

function calculateAttribution(deal, touchpoints, model) {
  const sortedTouches = touchpoints.sort((a, b) => 
    new Date(a.timestamp) - new Date(b.timestamp)
  );
  
  const attribution = {};
  
  switch (model) {
    case 'first_touch':
      attribution[sortedTouches[0].campaignId] = deal.amount;
      break;
      
    case 'last_touch':
      attribution[sortedTouches[sortedTouches.length - 1].campaignId] = deal.amount;
      break;
      
    case 'linear':
      const equalShare = deal.amount / sortedTouches.length;
      sortedTouches.forEach(touch => {
        attribution[touch.campaignId] = (attribution[touch.campaignId] || 0) + equalShare;
      });
      break;
      
    case 'time_decay':
      const closeDate = new Date(deal.closeDate);
      const decayHalfLife = 7; // days
      let totalWeight = 0;
      
      sortedTouches.forEach(touch => {
        const daysFromClose = (closeDate - new Date(touch.timestamp)) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
        touch.weight = Math.pow(0.5, daysFromClose / decayHalfLife);
        totalWeight += touch.weight;
      });
      
      sortedTouches.forEach(touch => {
        const share = (touch.weight / totalWeight) * deal.amount;
        attribution[touch.campaignId] = (attribution[touch.campaignId] || 0) + share;
      });
      break;
      
    case 'position_based':
      if (sortedTouches.length === 1) {
        attribution[sortedTouches[0].campaignId] = deal.amount;
      } else if (sortedTouches.length === 2) {
        attribution[sortedTouches[0].campaignId] = deal.amount * 0.5;
        attribution[sortedTouches[1].campaignId] = deal.amount * 0.5;
      } else {
        attribution[sortedTouches[0].campaignId] = deal.amount * 0.4;
        attribution[sortedTouches[sortedTouches.length - 1].campaignId] = deal.amount * 0.4;
        
        const middleShare = (deal.amount * 0.2) / (sortedTouches.length - 2);
        sortedTouches.slice(1, -1).forEach(touch => {
          attribution[touch.campaignId] = (attribution[touch.campaignId] || 0) + middleShare;
        });
      }
      break;
  }
  
  return attribution;
}

Step 6: AI-Optimized Attribution (Optional)

ai.optimize_attribution({
  historicalData: {
    deals: historicalDeals,
    touchpoints: historicalTouchpoints,
    outcomes: dealOutcomes
  },
  objective: "maximize_predictive_accuracy",
  constraints: {
    minTouchWeight: 0.05,
    maxTouchWeight: 0.50
  }
})

Step 7: Aggregate by Entity

function aggregateAttribution(attributionResults, groupBy, campaigns) {
  const aggregated = {};
  
  attributionResults.forEach(result => {
    Object.entries(result.attribution).forEach(([campaignId, revenue]) => {
      const campaign = campaigns.find(c => c.id === campaignId);
      const groupKey = campaign[groupBy] || 'Unknown';
      
      if (!aggregated[groupKey]) {
        aggregated[groupKey] = {
          entity: groupKey,
          attributedRevenue: 0,
          dealCount: 0,
          touchpoints: 0,
          cost: 0,
          campaigns: []
        };
      }
      
      aggregated[groupKey].attributedRevenue += revenue;
      aggregated[groupKey].dealCount++;
      aggregated[groupKey].touchpoints += result.touchpointCount;
      aggregated[groupKey].cost += campaign.cost / campaign.deals * 1; // Prorated
      if (!aggregated[groupKey].campaigns.includes(campaignId)) {
        aggregated[groupKey].campaigns.push(campaignId);
      }
    });
  });
  
  // Calculate ROI
  Object.values(aggregated).forEach(entity => {
    entity.roi = entity.cost > 0 
      ? ((entity.attributedRevenue - entity.cost) / entity.cost) * 100 
      : null;
    entity.avgDealSize = entity.attributedRevenue / entity.dealCount;
    entity.revenuePerTouch = entity.attributedRevenue / entity.touchpoints;
  });
  
  return Object.values(aggregated).sort((a, b) => b.attributedRevenue - a.attributedRevenue);
}

Step 8: Compare Models

function compareAttributionModels(deals, touchpoints) {
  const models = ['first_touch', 'last_touch', 'linear', 'time_decay', 'position_based'];
  const comparison = {};
  
  models.forEach(model => {
    const results = deals.map(deal => 
      calculateAttribution(deal, touchpoints[deal.id], model)
    );
    
    comparison[model] = aggregateAttribution(results, 'channel', campaigns);
  });
  
  return comparison;
}

Step 9: Generate Recommendations

function generateRecommendations(attribution, campaigns, budget) {
  const recommendations = [];
  
  // High ROI, low spend
  const highROILowSpend = attribution
    .filter(a => a.roi > 200 && a.cost < budget * 0.1)
    .slice(0, 3);
  
  highROILowSpend.forEach(entity => {
    recommendations.push({
      type: 'increase_investment',
      entity: entity.entity,
      current: entity.cost,
      suggested: entity.cost * 2,
      rationale: `${entity.roi.toFixed(0)}% ROI with limited spend`
    });
  });
  
  // Low ROI, high spend
  const lowROIHighSpend = attribution
    .filter(a => a.roi < 50 && a.cost > budget * 0.15)
    .slice(0, 3);
  
  lowROIHighSpend.forEach(entity => {
    recommendations.push({
      type: 'reduce_investment',
      entity: entity.entity,
      current: entity.cost,
      suggested: entity.cost * 0.5,
      rationale: `Only ${entity.roi.toFixed(0)}% ROI with ${((entity.cost / budget) * 100).toFixed(0)}% of budget`
    });
  });
  
  return recommendations;
}
