iOS revenue was ‘winning’ because Android refunds never landed
A Bangkok wallet team entered Cross-Platform Analytics Alignment with a board slide showing iOS outperforming Android by 31%. The Surface Audit found Android refunds posting to a warehouse table that the executive dashboard did not read. SKAN delayed postbacks made the iOS side look even cleaner.
By week five the team presented a known delta: iOS still converted slightly higher after refunds, but the gap was 9%, not 31%. They kept the MMP. They retired the slide. One mild reservation from their CFO: the studio did not rebuild the Looker model — that remained internal work.
