I couldn't quite follow what the problem is. I would define the revenue in the ROAS formula as revenue per time period, and the marketing spend also per time period Then I would qualify the revenue, as that part of the revenue that ca

The video is misleading when it spreads the idea that "polynomial time" equals "practical," or "fast". It's nice and simple to talk like that, but I don't think it's particularly useful or helpf
