Booking Verification and Evidence Source

AGR’s consolidated case-study evidence record includes Montage Palmetto Bluff among the six named acquisition engagements. It documents pre-deployment suppression of client-supplied existing-customer records, followed by MD5-hashed email matchback of client-supplied booking records against campaign recipients. Matching identifies bookings associated with recipients absent from the supplied pre-campaign file. This methodology statement is sourced to the consolidated evidence record.

• The named historical acquisition campaign is not the separate six-month ODI channel-shift case study.
