Pelican
Neustar's Private Learning and Inteference for Causal Attribution (Pelican) provides key market requirements for causal attribution of sequences of exposure across decentralized publishers.[1]
The focus of Pelican is to ensure marketers can continue to provide multi-touch credit for publishers, given other proposals would only support last-click attribution. See Private Click Attribution.
Causal measurement makes it possible to say how effective advertising is at changing user behavior.[2] Operationalizing causal measurement in practice requires not only measuring marketing's impact on a consumer's decision to purchase, but also quantifying the consumer's inherent propensity to convert. [3]
Impact
By improving marketers' ability to attribute credit to more publishers, they will allocate more spend with those publishers.
