spit out

English Other Marketing
Unlike channel-specific measurements, multi-channel attribution doesn’t spit out binary results — paid search or display. It jumps silos to analyze how channels work together. At last, you can tell the CMO how your email, SEO and social campaigns helped a sale that got “closed” by paid search.

produce

"Spit out" is a metaphor for "produce". Imagine a printer, with sheets of paper coming out of it over and over again: it could be said to be "spitting out" the paper.
