A practical example
A buyer attends two webinars, reads three emails, then requests a demo. Last-touch reporting shows the demo form driving the pipeline; a multi-touch view shows the webinars contributing.
The team documents both views before its budget review.
What to evaluate before investing
- Ask which attribution model the reporting defaults to for capture conversions and whether it is configurable.
- Confirm prior touches remain visible in reports rather than being overwritten by the capture event.
- Check whether the team can report capture credit alongside nurture credit in one view for budget discussions.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Multi-touch views spread credit thinly and can understate capture's closing role, so neither model alone settles the budget argument.
