Analytics is where AI tooling meets the least forgiving audience, because a marketing team can spot a number that is wrong. That makes reconciliation the first thing we test: if a tool’s revenue figure does not tie back to the platform it pulled from, nothing built on top of it matters.
Attribution deserves particular scepticism. Every model allocates credit under assumptions, and the value of a tool is largely in how visible those assumptions are. A tool that shows you its window, its model and its exclusions lets you argue with the output. A tool that returns a confident single number does not.
On the AI layer itself we try to be specific rather than dismissive. Anomaly detection earns its place because it watches things nobody scans manually. Narrative summaries frequently restate a chart in sentences. Entries here distinguish between the two and say which one you are paying for.
Headline prices are rarely comparable, because vendors here charge for different things. These are the models you will meet and what each one hides.
Billing scales with how much data you send, regardless of how many people look at it.
Watch for: Costs rise with business growth rather than with team size, so model it against next year's traffic. A successful quarter should not produce a surprise invoice.
Each advertising account, CRM or platform integration counts toward the plan.
Watch for: Multi channel teams hit source limits long before they hit volume limits, and each extra source is usually priced as an upgrade rather than an add on.
People who build reports cost more than people who read them.
Watch for: Check that the cheap viewer role can actually do what stakeholders need, or everyone quietly ends up on the expensive tier.
"Evaluate output quality" is not a test. These are specific things to do while you still have a free trial, and what each outcome actually means.
What it tells you: A dashboard nobody trusts is worse than no dashboard. If the headline number does not tie back, nothing built on top of it matters.
What it tells you: Every model allocates credit under assumptions. A tool that shows its assumptions lets you argue with the output; one that returns a confident single number does not.
What it tells you: Anomaly detection earns its place because it watches what nobody scans manually. Narrative summaries that restate a chart in sentences do not.
What it tells you: How a tool handles late and restated data determines whether last month's report still matches itself.
What it tells you: If both can create a metric with that name, you have a governance problem that will surface in a board meeting.
Some of this job is already covered by tools you pay for or can use free. Worth ruling out before adding a subscription.
Not with certainty, and any tool claiming otherwise is overstating what its data supports. Last click and data driven attribution both allocate credit under assumptions. Incrementality testing and marketing mix modelling get closer to causation, and both are methods rather than features.
Mostly the latter today. Anomaly detection is genuinely useful because it flags things a human would not scan for. Narrative summaries frequently describe what a chart already shows. Judge the feature by whether it changes a decision.
Because they are counting different things. Ad platforms count conversions in their own attribution window against click and view data they own; an analytics tool counts sessions and events it observed. Some gap is normal and expected. A gap you cannot explain is the problem.
