T1 — Observed
A company disclosure directly links financing to sales.
T2 — Category-mapped
Credit is mapped to spending categories, then to companies using registered weights.
T3 — Fungible
Credit that cannot be assigned directly is allocated broadly by estimated consumer revenue, with the widest uncertainty.
