There are several ways to model attribution. Each one has its own quirks, like tiny AI pets with different personalities.

Here’s a quick tour of the nerd zoo:

1. First Touch – The “Hello, World!” Model

Gives full credit to the first interaction.
👎 Ignores everything else, like a cat that forgets you fed it five times already.

2. Last Touch – The “Closers Only” Model

Credits the final touch before conversion.
👎 Ignores all nurturing, awareness-building, and warm-up work.

3. Linear – The “Everyone Gets a Trophy” Model

Divides credit equally across all interactions.
👍 Inclusive, but not strategic.

4. Time Decay – The “What Have You Done for Me Lately?” Model

More credit to recent interactions.
⚖️ Better—but still doesn’t tell the whole story.

5. U-Shaped – The “Meet Cute + Closer” Model

Focus on first interaction + lead conversion touch.
🚀 A favorite in lead-gen, but still just a model.

6. Data-Driven Attribution (AI/ML) – The “Actual Science” Model

Uses machine learning to analyze historical patterns and weight touchpoints based on predictive value.
💥 Now we’re talking.

🤖 AI-Powered Attribution: The SeeMore Special

At EBODA.digital, I cook up attribution magic using:

• Markov Chains – Probability paths across multi-channel journeys

• Shapley Values – Borrowed from cooperative game theory to assign value to each touch

• Bayesian Inference – For updating attribution models based on new info (and cool points)

The result?
A system that learns from your data, identifies what actually contributes to outcomes, and recommends where to invest next.

You don’t just get attribution. You get allocation strategy.

And here’s the kicker—it’s not just for big corporations. SMBs can use smart, pre-trained models on their HubSpot, Mailchimp, or Shopify data to understand exactly how their dollars are working.

💡 Real Talk: Attribution Without Action Is Just Trivia

Knowing what worked means nothing if you don’t change what you do.

Once you see which combinations of touches actually move the needle, you can:

• Cut spend on deadweight channels

• Double down on proven content journeys

• Redesign nurturing flows to match real user behavior

• Build out cross-channel “assist” paths (like that paid ad that didn’t convert—but did trigger a later organic click)

And my favorite move?
Use your attribution model to feed your AI targeting.
Yes. Attribution + automation = performance rocket fuel. 🚀
