Using attribution as time decay - exam question

Is it best practice to use an attribution as a time decay between dimension (page view) and metric (call)?

I think time decay makes sense here. You wouldn’t want first or last touch because they could be clicking through multiple pages (especially if they encounter the error then click to another page to find the number to call). Linear would give equal attribution across all of the pages so it wouldn’t help pinpoint the impacted section. A time decay would account for people taking different paths, and more recent pages having a greater influence on the metric.
