Defining Both So They Hold Up “For influenced, decide the window and the qualifying touches, for example any tracked marketing interaction within the deal cycle.” The hard part is data quality, not model choice. Attribution is only as good as your identity resolution, so a buyer who appears as three records across HubSpot, your ad platform, and your event tool will have their journey shredded. Resolve every touch to one account and contact in a shared identity graph, often built in BigQuery or Snowflake, before you compute any attribution. Capture the touches honestly: include outbound, paid, content, and inbound, because an allbound motion that only credits inbound forms will systematically misrepresent what actually moves pipeline.
