1 00:00:12.760 ⇒ 00:00:13.950 Robert Tseng: You can see it now. Okay.
2 00:00:15.120 ⇒ 00:00:21.339 Robert Tseng: Yeah, you were saying affiliate… maybe this is just Amber modeling is incorrect, or, like, kind of equations are incorrect, but…
3 00:00:21.890 ⇒ 00:00:22.680 Robert Tseng: I guess.
4 00:00:22.680 ⇒ 00:00:26.449 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, I can apply that in the raw sheet and in the model.
5 00:00:26.750 ⇒ 00:00:30.730 Awaish Kumar: And yeah, I can fix… If… yeah, whatever the issue is there.
6 00:00:31.240 ⇒ 00:00:38.050 Robert Tseng: Yeah, for some reason, there’s no data for affiliate. I’m not really sure what’s going on here. I was… yeah, so…
7 00:00:38.170 ⇒ 00:00:43.239 Robert Tseng: I assumed that it was just not in the raw sheet, but I could just take a look.
8 00:00:45.800 ⇒ 00:00:47.690 Robert Tseng: Huh, it looks like it should be.
9 00:00:53.570 ⇒ 00:00:56.409 Robert Tseng: Okay, you know what? It may just be Amber’s error.
10 00:00:57.590 ⇒ 00:01:00.820 Robert Tseng: If error… the heck is going on here?
11 00:01:07.290 ⇒ 00:01:08.680 Robert Tseng: Oh, girl.
12 00:01:08.980 ⇒ 00:01:15.619 Robert Tseng: Girl, girl, girl, yeah, this is the wrong equation. Okay, yeah, she just… It’s just wrong. Okay.
13 00:01:15.840 ⇒ 00:01:32.119 Robert Tseng: I have to fix it. Okay, it may not actually be a data problem, maybe her formula’s just wrong. Okay, so I’ll check the affiliate. I mean, I do see it in the raw data, like, I see Catalyst in here, it’s just not pulling in, and yeah, I see the problem. Okay, so forget that.
14 00:01:32.470 ⇒ 00:01:39.989 Robert Tseng: Yeah, I know we’re still working through some of this stuff, like channel CVR, I don’t know if we made any progress on this. Josh was asking about it yesterday and stuff.
15 00:01:42.130 ⇒ 00:01:46.679 Awaish Kumar: So, yeah, for the CVR, I think, like,
16 00:01:47.040 ⇒ 00:01:54.960 Awaish Kumar: Zoran mentioned we can pull that in from Catalyst, so I will try to ingest that today.
17 00:01:54.960 ⇒ 00:01:55.670 Robert Tseng: Okay.
18 00:01:56.220 ⇒ 00:02:10.809 Awaish Kumar: if it is a… like, if we have any endpoint which gives us this data, I can get that in today. But, yeah, if there’s no API to do that, then, yeah, like, I don’t know how we are going to handle it manually.
19 00:02:11.390 ⇒ 00:02:20.889 Robert Tseng: Okay, yeah, that’s okay, just… if you could give me an answer on what the next… so I could just tell him, hey, we can do it, because… or we can’t, like, I just… just want to give him an answer.
20 00:02:22.880 ⇒ 00:02:26.480 Awaish Kumar: Okay, I can… I can… I can balance it right.
21 00:02:26.890 ⇒ 00:02:29.279 Robert Tseng: Okay, cool. Alright, well then, I’m gonna…
22 00:02:29.280 ⇒ 00:02:31.459 Awaish Kumar: I don’t know. It could be to do anything.
23 00:02:32.660 ⇒ 00:02:33.370 Robert Tseng: For what, sorry?
24 00:02:33.370 ⇒ 00:02:35.179 Awaish Kumar: per payout amount, which…
25 00:02:35.680 ⇒ 00:02:40.399 Robert Tseng: Oh, right, there’s no data here, too. Wait, there is data. The heck?
26 00:02:41.420 ⇒ 00:02:47.089 Robert Tseng: What’s going on here? Yeah, where is this coming from, then?
27 00:02:47.090 ⇒ 00:02:52.910 Awaish Kumar: I don’t… This is spent data, I think she’s bringing in spend data, then…
28 00:02:53.210 ⇒ 00:02:54.790 Robert Tseng: The adagement data.
29 00:02:54.790 ⇒ 00:02:56.850 Awaish Kumar: We signed, yeah, I don’t know.
30 00:02:58.990 ⇒ 00:03:01.670 Awaish Kumar: Alright, so whatever we are spending on,
31 00:03:03.040 ⇒ 00:03:05.759 Awaish Kumar: Catalyst, like, whatever they’re getting for API.
32 00:03:05.820 ⇒ 00:03:12.960 Robert Tseng: True. Whatever we’re spending on Catalyst, that’s the pay… yeah, I think that’s right.
33 00:03:15.070 ⇒ 00:03:16.039 Awaish Kumar: Okay, but then.
34 00:03:16.040 ⇒ 00:03:19.369 Robert Tseng: money we’re spending on Catalyst versus upluence versus the offer.
35 00:03:20.030 ⇒ 00:03:22.960 Robert Tseng: Well, I guess maybe my question…
36 00:03:22.960 ⇒ 00:03:23.890 Awaish Kumar: Okay.
37 00:03:24.520 ⇒ 00:03:28.709 Awaish Kumar: The participant and this paid payout amount will be the same.
38 00:03:30.270 ⇒ 00:03:30.930 Awaish Kumar: Because…
39 00:03:30.930 ⇒ 00:03:31.610 Robert Tseng: is it?
40 00:03:32.150 ⇒ 00:03:33.869 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, because bad is kind of…
41 00:03:36.260 ⇒ 00:03:39.820 Awaish Kumar: And payout amount is if it’s just that ad spend, then it’s the same.
42 00:03:41.550 ⇒ 00:03:46.200 Robert Tseng: Oh, I see.
43 00:03:47.140 ⇒ 00:03:52.939 Robert Tseng: It’s like paid spend on Catalyst, though, right? Or paid spend on Upfluence.
44 00:03:54.390 ⇒ 00:04:01.690 Robert Tseng: That makes sense, like, that’s how much we’re paying to these, affiliates. Unless I’m missing something, but…
45 00:04:03.760 ⇒ 00:04:10.570 Awaish Kumar: Yeah, like, I just… I was just concerned, like, if we are using same… like, these categories could be under participant as well.
46 00:04:10.840 ⇒ 00:04:12.970 Awaish Kumar: Why then we are saying payout amount.
47 00:04:13.680 ⇒ 00:04:21.870 Robert Tseng: I see. Well, so, like, I mean, like, the sum of this should pretty much be the paid spend, like, here.
48 00:04:22.420 ⇒ 00:04:27.419 Robert Tseng: It’s loud right now, because…
49 00:04:28.120 ⇒ 00:04:31.170 Awaish Kumar: 142 is the… also the metric, right?
50 00:04:31.570 ⇒ 00:04:34.490 Awaish Kumar: 140… on the row number 1, the level 42.
51 00:04:34.490 ⇒ 00:04:37.660 Robert Tseng: Oh, I see what you mean.
52 00:04:42.410 ⇒ 00:04:44.930 Robert Tseng: Yeah, okay, I will… I’ll clarify that.
53 00:04:45.050 ⇒ 00:04:53.810 Robert Tseng: I think I misunderstood that at first. Okay. But yeah, you’re right, it’s the same. Or it looks the same right now, and
54 00:04:54.310 ⇒ 00:04:55.210 Robert Tseng: Okay
55 00:04:56.850 ⇒ 00:05:04.899 Robert Tseng: Okay, cool. Then I’m gonna quickly fix this spreadsheet, because I’m starting to look at this now, and then I’ll, I’ll, I’ll see you on the next call.
56 00:05:06.690 ⇒ 00:05:07.499 Awaish Kumar: Okay, thank you.
57 00:05:07.500 ⇒ 00:05:08.940 Robert Tseng: Okay, thanks, bye.
