MeshLine
A practical example
Example: a deal influenced by a webinar, three emails, and a paid search click would receive different credit distributions under first-touch versus position-based models, changing which campaigns look worth scaling.
What to evaluate before investing
- Ask which models the platform supports natively and whether custom weighting is possible without engineering work.
- Verify the tool handles multi-contact deals in B2B, where several people touch one opportunity.
- Confirm you can export raw touchpoint data to audit any credit calculation yourself.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Attribution describes correlation between touchpoints and outcomes, not proven causation; a campaign that appears to drive revenue may simply correlate with deals that were going to close anyway.
