Key Differences
Platform vs. Complete Architecture
HockeyStack provides attribution software. You configure the platform, set up tracking, and maintain data pipelines. Assumes you have clean inputs and configuration expertise to use the tool properly.
We architect the complete solution—fix your data foundation, design attribution logic for your business model, implement the system, and train your team. Strategy + implementation unified in one service.
Data Requirements
Platform requires clean, consistent tracking to work properly. If your UTM discipline is weak or data inputs are messy, you'll attribute garbage. Assumes data infrastructure already exists and is maintained.
We fix the data foundation first. Clean your tracking, establish UTM standards, architect proper data pipelines, then implement attribution. Build infrastructure that makes accurate measurement possible.
Implementation Approach
Self-serve platform with support documentation. You figure out configuration, attribution models, and integration with your tech stack. Tool requiring internal expertise to deploy and optimize properly.
Complete implementation service. We design your attribution strategy, build the technical solution, integrate with your systems, and train your team. 2-8 week deployment with hands-on support throughout.
