Most sponsorship attendance numbers are a work of fiction. I've audited over 200 events and the truth is consistent. NO ONE underestimates. You're paying for "Ghosts."
The event manager sends you "Official numbers" and crowd-shots. They don't show you:
The Pass-Throughs: People who walked by
The Curtains: Blacked out areas that hid the open spaces
The Parking Lot: Traffic that never entered your zone but were counted in your ROI.
They charged you for all those hallucinations.
I care about device signals and proof. Using forensic location data and 40 years of "backstage" experience, I reconcile the attendance you were told against the reality of who showed up.10-Minute Truth: If they aren't in your zone for 10 minutes, they aren't your customer. I filter out the noise so you can keep your job.
When the CFO starts asking why the '25 spend didn't move the needle, "Happy Talk and Vibes" won't save you. Forensic data will.Get the receipt before the scalpel comes to your department.
