Walled Gardens

Closed ecosystems (Meta, Google, Apple) that control their own data

In Simple Words (Zero Jargon):

Closed ecosystems (Meta, Google, Apple) that control their own data

Why It Is Critical

Walled gardens do not share raw user-level log data with external tools or competitors. This structural opacity is the core reason why unified cross-channel attribution requires statistical methods like MMM and incrementality testing.

What You Get: Understanding why cross-channel attribution is structurally difficult - and why platform-agnostic measurement solutions are necessary.
