Budget Pacing

BFCM: you scaled spend by 3x and didn't know which campaigns were wasting it until January

Every DTC brand has a BFCM story where the numbers looked fine in the platform dashboards but the profit wasn't there when refunds and COGS were factored in. The issue isn't just attribution — it's that most brands are managing 3–5 platforms simultaneously during peak, with no unified spend view and no early warning system for campaigns burning budget without proportional return.
