The problem

$640K of every $1M never reaches a real person.

The ANA’s 2023 supply-chain study put it plainly: only 36 cents of every programmatic dollar survives the chain to reach a real person. Most agencies check brand safety after the money is spent. We evaluate every bid across four dimensions before we commit your budget.

36¢Of every programmatic dollar reaches a real person. The rest leaks into the chain. (ANA, 2023)

29¢Of every dollar goes to platform and transaction fees alone. (ANA, 2023)

15%Of unmanaged spend lands on made-for-advertising sites; managed, it falls under 1%. (ANA, 2023–24)

Under the hood

The practice

The audit underneath.

Everything on this page rests on knowing the route an impression actually took.

Route discipline

Supply path optimization

“Every middle hop is someone else’s margin.”

SPO is the load-bearing work under everything else here: every impression’s route reconstructed log-level from DSP request to publisher render, duplicate supply flagged for consolidation, the take rate at each hop documented — and buying steered to the shortest auditable path to the publisher.
