You asked

Some traffic sources aren’t being tracked properly.

Symptom

At forty-two percent, the direct traffic share is high and rising.

Cause

The mechanism is referral stripping at the protocol level.

Impact

When high-margin customer segments enter through private sharing channels, they are invisible to the attribution model — which means they are invisible to the budget model.
