Governance

Verification & Attention (High-Level)

How we protect brands, budgets and audiences — and turn quality into performance.

Why Verification Matters

In a complex supply chain, verification is the difference between “ads served” and ads that really happened. We apply independent verification across channels to enforce suitability, viewability, fraud and geo accuracy — and to surface attention as a leading indicator of impact. Specific thresholds and workflows are shared at onboarding.

Verification isn’t a line item — it’s the operating system for trustworthy media.

Controls We Enforce

Pre-bid

  • Suitability tiers (category rules + curated allow-lists)
  • Viewability floors by format
  • IVT/bot filters and MFA avoidance
  • Geo accuracy requirements

Post-bid & escalation

  • Violation monitoring with remediation SLAs
  • Publisher feedback loops & block updates
  • Incident logs tied to campaign change history

Tooling includes DoubleVerify and platform-native controls. Detailed playbooks are available to clients.

Attention as a Performance Signal

Attention diagnostics help us rank formats, creatives and publishers by quality of exposure — then shift budget to high-attention combinations that also pass suitability checks.

Design & buy

  • CTV/BVOD and premium OLV prioritisation
  • High-attention placements in quality contexts
  • Creative hooks tuned for the first 2 seconds

Optimise

  • Pause low-attention lines even if cheap
  • Promote winning creatives/placements
  • Balance attention with frequency to avoid fatigue

How this connects across planning: A.R.T. framework.

What We Report

  • Suitability, viewability, IVT, geo accuracy by channel/format
  • Attention indices by publisher & creative
  • Budget shifts driven by verification insights
