Triple Whale dark-spend is not Hyros dark-spend
No-channel spend $ ÷ total spend $ make TW dark-spend %. Type both.
Pair: Unattributed-spend share on Traffic. MMM: MMM vs MTA gap. Revenue twin: unattributed-revenue share.
What you type
Unattributed spend $ — Triple Whale media dollars still marked with no channel credit in the window.
Total spend $ — Total media dollars in that same Triple Whale window.
TW dark-spend % = unattributed spend $ ÷ total spend $ × 100. Chase mapping when TW dark-spend % is fat. Do not invent a TW dark-spend chip.
What not to do
Do not invent TW dark-spend %. Do not paste Hyros or Northbeam unattributed-spend exports into Triple Whale counts. Do not treat orphan sales or MMM vs MTA dollars as dark spend. Do not blend brands when one pixel owns the hole.
