Galileo | Attribution Intelligence

Every platform claims it drove the conversion. Galileo measures who earned it.

First-party attribution across every channel, campaign, and touchpoint. Connected directly to your CRM or ERP. No walled gardens. No borrowed truth.

GA4, HubSpot, and Salesforce all see the same journey differently.

Each platform reports attribution from within its own walls. Google credits Google. HubSpot credits HubSpot. The result is not a measurement: it is a negotiation between conflicting self-reports.

GA4 Reporting
Session-level. Sampled. 90 days.
90-day attribution window maximum; journeys longer than 3 months are truncated
Samples high-traffic data; exact counts unavailable at volume
Tracks proxy actions (button clicks, time on page) rather than actual revenue conversions
Cannot attribute to specific keyword searched, only 'organic' or 'cpc'
No creative or ad-group granularity; campaign level only
HubSpot / Salesforce
CRM visibility. Platform bias.
Measures only touchpoints captured inside the platform; channels outside go uncredited
Self-attribution: the platform allocates credit to itself where data is ambiguous
Requires revenue data to be manually entered or synced, subject to lag and errors
Attribution models locked to platform defaults; no ability to run alternative views
No cross-channel fractionalization; each deal credits one source, one campaign
Galileo
First-party. No time limit. Five models.
No time horizon limit; measures journeys of any length from first touch to closed deal
First-party database built from your CRM or ERP, not from any platform's self-report
Ties every touchpoint to the actual conversion record, not a proxy action
Full keyword, ad group, creative, and channel granularity across all tracked sources
Five attribution models run in parallel; see the range from most conservative to most liberal

First-party data. No walled gardens. No borrowed truth.

Galileo connects directly to the system of record for your conversions: your CRM or ERP. It maintains its own first-party database of every touchpoint and conversion, independent of what any ad platform, analytics tool, or CRM vendor reports about itself.

The result: attribution that is not biased by who is reporting it. Galileo is immune to the walled-garden effect because it never asks any platform what it saw; it measures what actually happened.

1

First-party conversion data

Galileo reads directly from your CRM or ERP and maintains its own database, so the record of what converted, when, and for how much is always yours and always clean.

2

Any time horizon

B2B sales cycles, long enrollment funnels, complex procurement journeys: Galileo measures the full path regardless of how many months it spans.

3

Cross-channel fractionalization

Every dollar of revenue is distributed across the channels that contributed to it. Five models let you see the full range of defensible interpretations.

data-flow-architecture

One journey.
Five defensible
interpretations.

The debate over attribution credit is not a technical problem; it is an interpretive one. No single model is universally correct. Each makes a different claim about which touchpoints mattered and how much. 

Galileo runs all five models in parallel against your actual conversion data, so your team can see the full range of defensible answers rather than anchoring to one platform's default assumption. 

Linear (Fractional)
First Touch
Last Touch
U-Shaped (Position-Based)
Contains

The same conversion. Wildly different credit.

A customer sees a paid search ad, reads an organic blog post three weeks later, receives a nurture email, then converts directly. Who drove the sale? 

Ask Google Analytics (last touch): direct gets 100% of the credit. Ask a first-touch model: paid search takes everything. The truth lies somewhere in the full range, and Galileo shows you all of it. 

With five models running simultaneously against your actual CRM data, you can defend any channel investment and identify which channels are systematically undercredited or overcredited in your current reporting.

Response curve modeling

Galileo uses your historical attribution data to model the marginal return curve for each channel: the return on every additional dollar spent. Most channels show clear diminishing returns beyond a threshold.

2

Identify over- and underfunded channels

Channels where marginal ROAS is still high but budget share is low are underfunded. Channels past their efficient frontier are overcrowded. Galileo surfaces both, along with the dollar magnitude of the gap.

3

Calculate the optimal allocation

The model solves for the budget split that equalizes marginal ROAS across all channels: the mathematical efficient frontier. The output is a concrete, defensible reallocation recommendation.

4

Model the projected impact

Before any dollar moves, Galileo projects the ROAS improvement from the recommended allocation. Your team can pressure-test the model, adjust constraints, and see the projected outcome of each scenario.

"Most organizations are not spending the wrong total. They are spending the right total in the wrong places. Galileo finds the places."

Six dashboards. One version of the truth.

Every Galileo dashboard refreshes daily with timestamp validation. From high-level executive summaries to granular channel breakdowns, each view is built for a specific decision, not for a specific audience's preferred narrative.

Dashboard 01

Pipeline Performance

Full visibility into conversion pipeline health by channel and campaign. Tracks every stage from first inquiry through close, with funnel drop-off identification and source attribution.

Dashboard 02

Pipeline Velocity

Measures conversion speed at every stage. Time-to-status tracking by channel surfaces bottlenecks before they become missed targets. Cycle-over-cycle pacing comparison built in.

Dashboard 03

Multi-Touch Attribution

The core attribution view. Channel contribution cards for Paid Search, Organic, Email, Direct, Referral, and Social. Campaign-level ROI. Touchpoint analysis by funnel stage. Run across all five models simultaneously.

Dashboard 04

Economic Analysis

Links marketing investment to revenue outcome. ROAS, CAC, and channel efficiency by spend tier. Program- and segment-level profitability. The answer to the CFO's question: what did this actually return

Galileo answers the question
each stakeholder is actually asking.

CMO / Marketing Director
"Which channels are actually driving revenue, not just traffic?"
Galileo's multi-touch attribution and Economic Analysis dashboards show ROAS and CAC by channel without relying on any platform's self-reported numbers. Make reallocation decisions from evidence, not politics.
CFO / Finance Leadership
"What did our marketing investment actually return, in revenue, not leads?"
The Economic Analysis dashboard ties spend directly to closed revenue from your CRM or ERP, with ROAS by channel and program. The CFO gets a financial statement for marketing, not a traffic report.
CEO / Executive Leadership
"Can we trust what marketing is telling us about performance?"
Because Galileo draws from your own CRM or ERP rather than any vendor's reporting, the executive summary numbers are not a platform's best case; they are a direct read of your own first-party data.
Operations / Demand Gen
"Where is the funnel slowing down, and what is causing it?"
Pipeline Velocity tracks time-to-conversion at every stage by channel and campaign. Bottlenecks surface before they miss targets. Teams can act on specific data rather than guessing at cause.

Platform access that fits how your team works.

Galileo is available as a self-serve platform with full dashboard access, or as an Arcalea-managed service where our analysts interpret results and translate them into channel strategy. Both models use the same first-party database and the same five attribution models.

Attribution that changed
the investment decision.

Kellogg School of Management used Galileo to measure the full-funnel contribution of every marketing channel across their Executive MBA program. The platform connected to the admissions CRM, tracked the complete applicant journey, and ran all five attribution models against actual enrollment outcomes. 

The results overturned assumptions the team had held for years about which channels were driving conversions, and justified a significant reallocation of paid media spend.

Elysian Fertility: Optimizing Marketing in a High-Consideration Category
Three-part case study series co-authored with Prof. Mohanbir Sawhney, Kellogg School of Management. Published 2025. Used in MBA marketing curriculum.
The Elysian case series uses Galileo as the primary analytical tool throughout. It has been adopted by business schools as a teaching case for multi-touch attribution in high-consideration consumer categories. The methodology demonstrated in the case is the same methodology Arcalea deploys for its managed-service clients. 
"The question is never whether attribution is perfect. It never is. The question is whether your current attribution is less wrong than the alternative. Five models give you a defensible range. One platform's default gives you one vendor's opinion."
Arcalea Measurement Practice

Attribution is not a technical problem. It is an interpretive one. Galileo shows you the full range of defensible answers.

Questions about Galileo

What is Galileo?

Galileo is Arcalea's multi-touch attribution platform. It connects directly to your CRM or ERP, maintains its own first-party database of conversion records, and measures the actual contribution of every marketing channel, campaign, and touchpoint across the full customer journey.

How is Galileo different from GA4 or HubSpot?

GA4 uses a 90-day attribution window, samples data, aggregates by session rather than individual, and can only track proxy actions rather than actual revenue conversions. It cannot attribute to the specific keyword searched or creative seen. Galileo measures from the actual CRM or ERP conversion record with no time horizon limit, no sampling, and full campaign and creative granularity. Unlike GA4, HubSpot, and Salesforce, Galileo does not rely on any walled garden's self-reported numbers.

What attribution models does Galileo support?

Galileo supports five attribution models: Linear (equal credit across touchpoints), First Touch (100% to first channel), Last Touch (100% to final channel), U-Shaped (40/40/20 split), and Contains (100% to all channels). Together they bracket the full interpretive range from conservative to liberal.

Which CRM and ERP systems integrate with Galileo?

Galileo has direct integrations with Slate, Epicor Eclipse, Salesforce, and HubSpot. Data from these systems feeds Galileo's own first-party database, ensuring independence from any platform's self-reported numbers.

Can we manage Galileo ourselves or does Arcalea manage it?

Both options are available. Galileo is offered as a self-serve SaaS platform with full dashboard access, or as an Arcalea-managed service where our analysts interpret results and translate them into channel strategy.

What results have clients achieved with Galileo?

Clients using Galileo have reallocated budget to measured channels, reducing wasted ad spend by 35 percent and achieving ROAS improvements up to 325 percent. Results depend on current state of measurement and budget optimization.
