  • Patent number: 12393967
    Abstract: Macro-Attribution of feedback to solicitation includes determining historical time series information pertaining to collected feedback items. It further includes determining historical time series information pertaining to feedback solicitation. It further includes generating, based at least in part on the historical time series information pertaining to the collected feedback items and the historical time series information pertaining to the feedback solicitation, a macro-attribution model usable to estimate an expected number of feedback items to be received for a time period. It further includes receiving a set of feedback items for the time period. It further includes using the macro-attribution model to determine, for the feedback items received for the time period, an estimate of an amount of feedback that was generated organically, and an estimate of an amount of feedback that was generated by solicitation.
