MWITA-BCO-2026-012 · Evidence A · P1
Randomized digital display advertising by a semiconductor/electronics-components manufacturer produced an estimated return on ad spend of 12.0 (95% CI 4.8-24.5), with first-time purchase effects delayed one to five months and repeat-customer effects delayed five to twelve-plus months.
What this does not establish
High-involvement electronic components with long sales lags; no MQL/SQL, meeting or opportunity measures, and switchback validity depends on limited cross-geography interference.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
Large measured returns appeared only with months-long lag windows and were driven largely by existing-customer expansion, contradicting last-touch and net-new-only attribution.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised records, denominators, confidence intervals, channel changes and realized behavioral or commercial outcomes.
