This is roughly what I build. Two unrelated-looking signals social attention and revenue correlated over time into one confidence score. It's a simplified version of the attribution engine I shipped at FUSE AI the same instinct behind turning speech into clinical notes at SMART Centre, screening audio into grades at Africa 2100, and spending into a budget at Aila Money.
