Method

How this model works

The call is stated first. The workings are here.

Recommendation logic

The recommended channel split is weighted using marginal ROI, lower saturation and confidence. Sub-channel splits use fixed media planning defaults from the source file, and the ROI proxy is multiplied by the sub-channel adjustment factor.

Important caveat

This is a planning layer, not a live econometric model. It is useful for comparative decisions, consistency and prioritisation.
