How well are sales and ad spend correlated and how well are spurious correlations accounted for?

    Unfortunately I’m genuinely curious. Honestly is a little disheartening though that the first piece of technical pushback has you bailing out. “Correlation is not causation” being stats 101 and all.

    If you do have any more to say though I’d happily read it! If not .., all the best.
