Models trained on the output of earlier models lose the tails of the distribution and drift into nonsense. The clean data sits behind logins, and the PROPS framework is one way to train on it without anyone handing it over.

Proprietary MMM platforms hand you a number and hide the math behind it. This is the stack I use instead: Google Meridian for the Bayesian side, a local Mistral 7B to turn coefficients into something a marketing manager can act on.
The Twenty Twenty-Seven core team added a Lead Mentor next to the usual dev leads. It reads like a soft change, but it is aimed at the contributor bottleneck that has been producing burnout and technical debt for years.
