Needs some ideas for scenario planning optimizations! Currently have a model to predict conversions given media spend, I can adjust spend up and down to create different budget scenarios and send to model to get respective conversions. Thoughts?

sounds like a MMM project, I would suggesst figure out the saturation points for your media channels where more budget would no longer correlate to more conversions. Planners wanna get an idea of how much they should spend in each channels since they most likely have a fixed total budget and need to figure out spend distrubution, so they'd appreciate knowing the min/max spend for each channels.

Ty! See comment below

Given you already have your model... In addition to any inflection points V1 suggested, throw on some Bayesian stats. Get reasonable prior distributions on the inputs and run simulations to provide utility curve(s) with error bounds. Then simplify the results to show different risk-reward categories.

Your bayesian model should be giving you predictions with uncertainty. The only way to make more accurate would be to train on more data, reparameterize, or find more informative priors. If the prediction is conservative I would start there rather than trying to combine models.

Depending on where you work, you might have some cool resources you can work with. In my experience agency proprietary tools are kinda meh but if you crack them open you might find something really cool.

Are you training the model on the entire data set or do you have a holdout group to validate the model ?

I validate the model use time aware cross validation. But then retain on all data when I’m ready to create the actual scenarios

Our MTA vendor also provides a scenario planning optimization tool like this but I wish they’d give us more information as to how the model was built. I feel like asking these great questions above would result in runaround half-answers 🙄 how can I trust the model if no one seems to have the ability to explain it?

lollll i knew it, those people will never give you any details on their models

Google “incrementality” - in short - to find the true impact of one channel, you need to turn the channel off somehow [geo, pulsing, etc] and awesome what happens.

MTA vendors are notoriously black-box.

Build your own models.

Hi all! I’m new! I started the year off planning to save for a home for myself, then rates skyrocketed. So we’re holding off. Fast forward to the final quarter of the year and we were presented with the idea of a residential assisted living facility. The problem there is we’d still need to acquire property in order to run one. The only difference is the RAL would be a business and is already registered as such. Does anyone have any experience here?

Any women here with lean PCOS? I do not ovulate on my own (metformin regulated my periods but I still don’t ovulate) and am moving from three cycles of Clomid/IUI to IVF soon. No other issues have been found other than my PCOS (HSG shows tubes open). Curious about your experiences. And the reason I mentioned lean PCOS is because it seems for others with PCOS part of the fertility path is diet/exercise/weight loss but I am already very tiny.
