Reporting standards

A useful number comes with context.

What it measures. When it happened. How it was attributed. Where it came from.

Platform value ≠ business revenue

A platform claims attributed conversion value. That is different from total revenue or a store’s accounting records.

ROAS ≠ profit

Margins, refunds and operating costs affect what the business actually keeps.

Past results ≠ a forecast

Every account has its own product, offer, constraints and reporting settings.

The source record

Clear about the limits.

Platform evidence and client-deck claims

Some studies include an Ads Manager screenshot. Others rely on a client-facing deck. Each study names its source and preserves the difference.

Missing dates or conflicting figures

Missing attribution windows stay marked as missing. Where a deck gives conflicting figures, the study explains the discrepancy rather than picking the strongest number.

Portfolio-wide experience

Career totals and experience are personal portfolio statements. They are distinct from account-level figures and are never presented as a promise for another business.
