How to build per-location cross-channel attribution rollup for franchise reporting
DOWNSTREAM consumer of #585 multi-vendor receipt joining + offline attribution canonical.

FAQ
- What is per-location cross-channel attribution rollup for franchise reporting — and what is the FASB-ASC-810-consolidation-times-FDD-Item-19-substantiation problem distinctive to this skill?
- A multi-location DTC + franchise operator rolls up per-location per-channel attribution into per-franchisee P&L and per-franchisor system-wide consolidated financial statements. The four-skill bundle on the franchise-finance agent — Attribute, Roll-Up, Gate, Audit — consumes the canonical per-receipt + per-attribution record from #585 multi-vendor receipt joining and sits above the consolidated financial system (NetSuite + Sage Intacct + Oracle Cloud ERP + SAP S/4HANA + Workday + Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance + QuickBooks Enterprise + Xero) + BI (Tableau + Looker + Sigma + Mode + ThoughtSpot + Hex + Power BI) + warehouse substrate. The operationally distinctive anchor: FASB ASC 810 consolidation of variable interest entities + ASC 810-10/20/30 + ASC 280 segment reporting + ASC 606 revenue recognition + ASC 606-10-25-32 contract modification + ASC 606-10-25-33 loyalty program breakage + ASC 350 goodwill + IRS Section 263 capitalization vs Section 174 R&D + IRS Section 482 transfer pricing when intercompany + ASC 740 income taxes + Sarbanes-Oxley 302/404/906 consolidated financial statements when public-company franchisor + COSO + Securities Exchange Act 1934 Section 13(b)(2) + SEC Reg S-K Item 303 + SEC Form 10-K + Form 10-Q + Auditing Standard 2201 + PCAOB AS 2410 + IFRS 15 + IFRS 10 + IAS 1. Plus FDD Item 19 Financial Performance Representation substantiation when per-location rollup substantiates franchise revenue claim + NASAA Commentary on FPRs 2017.
- Why do NetSuite + Sage Intacct + Oracle Cloud ERP + SAP S/4HANA + Workday + Microsoft Dynamics 365 + Tableau + Looker break at multi-franchisee SOX consolidated-attribution rollup scale?
- Each ERP ships per-tenant flat consolidation primitive. Each BI ships flat report. None coordinates per-franchisee per-channel attribution rollup with intercompany elimination + per-state revenue allocation + transfer-pricing under IRS Section 482 + ASC 740 income tax allocation + ASC 810 consolidation of VIEs. None handles FDD Item 19 FPR substantiation chain + NASAA Commentary 2017 + Pfizer 1972 substantiation when per-location rollup substantiates franchise revenue claim in franchise-prospect disclosure. None gates against Sherman Act horizontal-restraint when per-franchisee consolidation reveals coordinated pricing + Colgate doctrine + Robinson-Patman territorial-pricing + ECOA disparate-impact when AI-ML attribution drives consumer routing. None writes a per-franchisee + per-rollup audit trail with SOX 302/404/906 consolidated financial statement attestation + FDD Item 19 substantiation. The four-skill bundle Attribute + Roll-Up + Gate + Audit sits above the ERP + BI + warehouse substrate — it does not replace it.
- How does Attribute + Roll-Up work?
- Attribute consumes the canonical per-receipt + per-attribution record from #585 multi-vendor receipt joining + offline attribution end-to-end. Per-receipt per-channel attribution (paid + organic + direct + email + SMS + push + display + voice + offline) under causal-inference rigor (PyMC + Stan + NumPyro + bambi Bayesian + CausalML + DoubleML + EconML + Synth + CausalImpact + GeoLift + propensity-score + RDD) with replication-crisis discipline (Brier + ECE + Rosenbaum + E-value + Bonferroni + BH FDR + pre-registration + ASA p-value statement). Per-platform Conversions API (Meta CAPI + Google Enhanced Conversions + TikTok Events API + Pinterest CAPI + LinkedIn CAPI + Snapchat CAPI) under Apple ATT iOS 14.5 + Google Privacy Sandbox. Roll-Up runs per-location per-franchisee per-channel revenue + cost + margin + EBITDA + Cost of Goods Sold + Gross Margin aggregation. Per-franchisee P&L. Per-franchisor consolidated financial statements via NetSuite + Sage Intacct + Oracle Cloud ERP + SAP S/4HANA + Workday + Dynamics 365 + QuickBooks + Xero. Per-rollup intercompany elimination + per-state revenue allocation + per-state apportionment + Multistate Tax Commission + transfer pricing under IRS Section 482 + ASC 740 income tax.

Engage Completions
Two ways to engage. The Tier 1 AI Readiness Assessment maps the per-receipt canonical from #585 + consolidated financial system + BI + warehouse + causal substrate + SOX consolidated attestation + FDD Item 19 substantiation surface against the Attribute + Roll-Up + Gate + Audit bundle. The Tier 3 Fractional CMO with AI Swarm embeds 1-2 days per week for 6+ months and runs the bundle end-to-end against the franchise-finance agent across the swarm.
