How does it handle long-tail referral relationships?

Lifetime value is trailing 36 months by default, which captures most relationships fairly. For sources with longer cycles (estate planning relationships that produce a probate 10 years later), the agent flags the long-cycle pattern so the recommendation accounts for it.

The marketing spend you would have renewed without thinking

The firm spends $42,000 a year on a sponsorship that everyone assumes is producing. The Referral Source ROI agent runs the trailing 24 months: 4 matters trace to the sponsorship, total fees $61,000, average matter value $15,250. The same dollars spent on the bar association lunch series produced 19 matters at $206,000 in fees. The renewal conversation moves from habit to math. The sponsorship gets a tighter scope; the lunch budget grows.

Safety posture

The analysis is internal-only and scoped to the partners and the firm's BD lead. The recommendations are advisory; the firm makes the budget calls. For sources where attribution is uncertain (a matter that came from a sponsorship-related event without clean tracking), the agent shows the uncertainty rather than guessing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Brand spend (firm logo on a stadium board, name recognition advertising) gets reported separately from direct-attribution spend. The agent doesn't try to assign matters to brand spend; it tracks it as a category and surfaces the trend so the partners can decide whether the assumed lift is real.
