| Definition | Blended ROAS measures revenue against combined ad spend across multiple channels or the full paid-media mix. |
| Formula | Total Revenue / Total Paid Media Spend |
| Why it matters | Blended ROAS is useful when platform-level attribution overstates individual channel performance and leadership needs a more realistic system-wide view. |
