Making 1P, 3P and Hybrid Comparable

Different business models are measured differently. First party retailers are assessed on net sales, while third party and hybrid models are measured on Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV), the total value of transactions processed through the retailer. To rank them on one basis, we standardize every retailer onto a single total GMV, whatever its business model.
