This is essentially fraud. Your company was made aware that it was selling a product with wildly different characteristics than advertised, and chose to cover it up.
There are defensible business reasons for this, in having a contract already in place at the old CPM, so being unable to double the CPM and half the views mid-contract... but still pretty much fraud.
- dietr1ch 1y agoSounds like even more fraud. Here you can apply the new filter to historic data or create a new metric version and keep the old version to avoid breaking continuity in what's measured.
- pjc50 1y agoIt sounds like the customers demanded the fraud remain, for their own internal Potemkin purposes.
- dredmorbius 1y agoPossible, but not substantiated by the GP comment, which makes yours purely speculative.
- butlike 1y ago> In less that a day business mandated us to remove the filter. How is that not substantive?
- voltaireodactyl 1y agoMy impression is that the question is whether “business” in this instance refers to the Yellowpages company itself, or the companies that make up their customers base.
- dredmorbius 1y agoYes, and my read is that "business" was internal to Yellowpages.
