Why does platform attribution overstate marketing performance?

Platforms optimise and report using the data they can observe. Their attribution windows and models are designed to connect advertising interactions to conversions, not to produce a perfect independent profit-and-loss view. That does not make the data useless. It means the business should reconcile platform reporting with analytics, customer behaviour and overall commercial performance.
