A real-world example

How much incremental revenue does each marketing touchpoint generate?

Marketing teams spend millions across channels but cannot measure true incremental impact. Last-touch attribution over-credits the final click; multi-touch models spread credit arbitrarily. Without causal uplift measurement, budget allocation is guesswork — high-performing channels get under-funded while vanity channels consume budget with no real conversion lift. CMOs need to know: 'If we turned off paid search, how many conversions would we actually lose?'

How KumoRFM solves this

Relational intelligence for smarter acquisition

Kumo uses counterfactual PQL queries to answer causal questions. The ASSUMING clause simulates a world where a specific touchpoint exists, and the model compares this to the baseline (without that touchpoint). The difference in predicted conversion probability is the true incremental uplift for that channel. This is not correlation-based attribution — it is learned counterfactual reasoning over the full relational graph of users, touchpoints, and conversions.

Bottom line: Counterfactual attribution reveals that paid search drives 40% incremental lift for new users but only 3% for existing high-value customers — enabling precise budget reallocation that can save $2M+ annually in wasted ad spend.
