The contact measure has drifted from the homeowner action it is meant to represent.
Raw event history must remain intact while the trusted project model needs one consistent meaning for the attribute.
Who you’d be doing this for
“I sent the message, then spent the afternoon wondering if anyone actually got it.”

She used the app to contact a local plumber after an unexpected leak.
What is at stake
Completed homeowner contacts are being undercounted because one mobile attribute arrives in two forms. You must weigh a durable normalization against preserving raw event history and existing metric definitions.
Why it isn’t already fixed
Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.
- raw event fidelity vs consistent metric meaning
- mobile release stability vs immediate reporting accuracy
- permissive ingestion vs early contract detection
Why Thumbtack
