Commission Discrepancy Detector

Commissions that come in short, late, or not at all rarely trigger any alert from the network. The Discrepancy Detector builds a rolling baseline per advertiser program and per network from your own historical data, then flags anything that falls outside it. The gap becomes visible in plain language: 12 clicks driven, a 4.2% historical conversion rate, a $7 average commission on that advertiser. Expected $84, received $0.

What it does

Builds a rolling baseline per program and per network from your own 90-day history: your real conversion rate and your real average commission on that advertiser, not an industry average. Programs are held in a learning state for the first 30 days after any data appears, and no discrepancies fire until the baseline is established.
Classifies every gap by likely cause: a silent affiliate ID strip in the redirect chain, a changed destination, or a geographic misroute each point to a different resolution. The classification tells you what to dispute and what to fix.
Adjusts thresholds per network to account for their reporting lag. A gap on Amazon Associates detected 10 days after period close is inside the normal posting window; the detector knows this and does not alert until the window has passed.
Tiers every finding by dollar impact so you spend your time on the gaps that matter most. High-severity discrepancies surface real-time; lower-severity ones appear in your daily digest.

How it works

01
We build your baseline
A rolling 90-day baseline is computed per program and per network from your connected dashboards. The baseline captures your actual conversion rate and average commission amount: the reference point that makes reconciliation meaningful.
02
We catch deviations
When a commission lands smaller than the baseline predicts, or a click drives no payout at all, the Detector classifies the why. Networks re-run daily for 60 days so late-arriving commissions close discrepancies automatically before you need to act.
03
Disputes queue automatically
High-confidence cases queue for dispute generation. Lower-confidence cases route to your review inbox. You approve what goes out, or set a threshold and let the queue run on its own for clear-cut ITP cookie failures.
