ROAS

Return on Ad Spend — the revenue attributed to an ad channel divided by the spend on that channel. Platform-reported ROAS is inflated by attribution defaults, so we read it alongside blended ROAS and MER.

POAS

Profit on Ad Spend — gross profit from ad-attributed sales divided by ad spend. Unlike ROAS, it accounts for product margin, so it tells you whether scaling actually makes money rather than just moving revenue.

MER

Marketing Efficiency Ratio — total revenue divided by total marketing spend across all channels. Because it ignores attribution entirely, it can't be inflated by platform settings, making it the most honest top-line efficiency number.
