# Crediting Concerns Report

{% tab title="What is it?" %}

* The *Crediting Concerns Report* details interactions between two partners in the same conversion path, showing how often and when customers engage with each partner, and whether one partner receives more credit for the conversion.
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Why is it useful?" %}

* This report helps you answer the question “Am I properly crediting all my partners for the value they drive, or are some partners receiving disproportionate credit?” If, for instance, Partner B received credit 90% of the time they appear in the same conversion path as Partner A, but Partner B’s Interaction Frequency and Range of Interaction are significantly lower than Partner A’s, you can reasonably draw the conclusion that Partner B is being overcompensated and/or Partner A is being under-compensated.
* If you're concerned that certain partners are overcompensated, set the Insights Level to “Partner” or “Partner Group” to view crediting details at the desired granularity.
