The Reality
Multi-million dollar visibility problem
Revenue Attribution Data Trust Channel Visibility
⚠️ What Was Actually Happening
Revenue was growing. Traffic was down 60%.
Which sounds like a problem, but actually validated their strategy.
"Tasting Room to Living Room" — events and wine club driving growth.
Except they couldn't prove it.
Orders weren't tagged with source. Revenue by channel was a guess.
Spreadsheets tracked what the systems couldn't.

Was this event profitable?— The question they couldn't answer
📋 The Symptoms
- Revenue growing but unclear which channels drive it
- 60% traffic decline masking successful strategy shift
- No order source attribution
- Manual spreadsheet-based tracking
- Event profitability unknown
📍 Where They Are Now
✓ What's Different
- → December breakthrough: event revenue validated at $300K — matched within $10K
- → The team now trusts the data
- → Shopify orders tagged with source channel at point of sale
- → Revenue attribution by channel visible in dashboards
- → January 1 clean data go-live achieved
~ What's Still Messy
- → Product taxonomy still inconsistent
- → Team adoption of tagging discipline still building
- → Some historical data will never be attributable
The Pattern
You can be growing and still be flying blind. The breakthrough isn't the technology — it's the moment when the team trusts the data enough to make decisions from it.
