How to read this result
Clicks = visits × click rate. Orders = clicks × merchant conversion. Retained orders = orders × (1 − reversal rate). Expected counts can be fractional; they are not observed transactions.
Retained commission = retained orders × order value × commission rate. Contribution subtracts cash costs and valued labor. Commission per visit is undefined at zero visits.
The model does not simulate attribution windows, tracking loss, tiered rates or merchant payment terms. An attractive calculation does not remove the need for clear disclosures and independent editorial judgment.
