This is like a smart accountant for your marketing budget: it watches all your ads and customer touchpoints and figures out which ones actually convinced people to buy, so you know where your money is really working.
Traditional marketing attribution is guessy and siloed—teams can’t clearly see which channels, campaigns, and touchpoints are driving conversions and revenue. A machine-learning-based attribution tool aims to provide data-driven, multi-touch attribution so marketers can reallocate spend to the most effective activities.
If executed well, defensibility would come from proprietary attribution models trained on rich cross-channel marketing data and tight integration into existing martech stacks, making it sticky in a team’s workflow.

To stand out, this type of tool would need more accurate multi-touch or algorithmic attribution than default platform analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), plus easier integration and clearer optimization recommendations for non-technical marketers.
