What to provide

Approved channel definitions, ordered rules, sample source/medium rows and intended report audience.

How it works

  1. Read rule order and exact match conditions from the approved definition.
  2. Evaluate each sample against every supplied rule, showing all matches.
  3. Apply stated precedence only; missing order leaves overlapping assignment unresolved. Keep current and proposed groups separate.
  4. Return a dry-run map and conflicts. Do not edit Analytics channel groups or rewrite historic reports.

The output

source/medium | matching rules | precedence evidence | current group | proposed group | conflict

Worked fictional example

Fictional source=social, medium=paid matches broadSocial and PaidSocial. PaidSocial wins only if the supplied order places it first. Missing order stays unresolved.

Checks and limits

Preserve source versions and original values. Unknowns stay unknown. Use a qualified reviewer for regulated, legal or hiring decisions. No send, share, account change, schedule, ledger update or payment is authorized. No live account test is claimed.
