Speed to Decision
Is BlueAlpha or Measured better for budget planning?
Both give you causal reads across the budget. Measured pairs you with an analyst who recommends changes. BlueAlpha forecasts each move and its agents carry out what you approve, so the plan reaches the platforms the same week.
What to ask any vendor: how many of your channels get a fresh causal read each week, and how many days pass between that read and the budget actually changing?
Run it like a portfolio
What does rebalancing on marginal return look like?
Every channel saturates. Set a monthly mix, then rebalance: the same budget moves until each channel’s next dollar returns about the same.
Illustrative response curves, not customer data. Figures are modeled monthly incremental revenue for a $500K budget. BlueAlpha fits these curves on your own data and retrains them weekly.
Prove it. Then move it.
“Most measurement stops at media. BlueAlpha has helped us build a clearer understanding of media effectiveness and efficiency across channels, then translate those insights into actionable budget decisions. They don’t just hand us a report, they work alongside our team.”

Week 1–2
Forward deploy
Our team connects your marketing, sales and product data and agrees one definition for revenue, conversions and CAC.
Week 3–6
Diagnose
We build your causal model, backtest it weekly and bring in results from past lift tests, including Measured readouts.
Week 6 onward
Build
You get a forecasted budget plan, and agents carry out the changes you approve in the platforms you already use.

How long does it take to switch from Measured to BlueAlpha?
BlueAlpha works in three stages: Forward Deploy, Diagnose and Build. Timing depends on how many data sources you connect; your team sees the first causal read during diagnosis, before any budget moves.
Does BlueAlpha replace incrementality testing?
No. BlueAlpha runs causal incrementality tests and uses each result to calibrate the marketing mix model, so tests sharpen the model where it is least certain.
