ATTRIBUTION & TIMING GUIDE
How delayed conversions affect media buying optimization
A traffic slice can look unprofitable before all downstream events arrive. The timing model matters whenever rules use revenue, profit, ROI, or later funnel stages.
In short
Delayed conversions change campaign economics after the original visit or click. If optimization ignores the delay, a team can reduce bids or blacklist traffic that later proves valuable.OPERATING MODEL
Why a late conversion changes the next decision
The same click can mature over time. Decision logic needs an attribution window before changing traffic.
Identify the event window
Measure how long approvals, deposits, payouts, and reversals usually take, and preserve the identifier chain required to attribute them to the original traffic.
Design rules around incomplete data
Use minimum data thresholds, time windows, pending states, and cautious actions when the final outcome is not yet known.
Recalculate and recover
When late events arrive, update revenue, profit, ROI, and rule state. A recovery workflow can reverse the last successful change where configuration permits it.
