EXHIBIT B

 

Publishers leverage Adapex’s capabilities to generate incremental revenue based upon capturing and syncing Universal IDs and SSP IDs into bid requests. 

 

As part of this service, Adapex measures the performance of Signal+.  We measure lift and bid density and provide intelligence to engage with buyers, agencies, and other technology partners better. 

 

To complete this reporting, Adapex requires read-only access to the local GAM instance. 

 

A/B TESTING FOR UPLIFT

What is an A/B Test:

A/B testing (also known as bucket testing, split-run testing, or split testing) is a user-experience research methodology.[1] A/B tests consist of a randomized experiment that usually involves two variants (A and B),[2][3][4] although the concept can also be extended to multiple variants of the same variable. 

 

Adapex measures uplift using a standardized methodology.  

  1. Adapex automatically assigns every new user to a series of audience cohorts.  Each user is randomly assigned to a cohort and remains in that cohort for as long as Adapex can identify them. 
  2. Adapex creates two key Cohorts. 
    1. Control Cohort
    2. Active Cohort
  3. Control Cohort
    1. 20% of all users
    2. No IDs are injected into the bid request
  4. Active Cohort
    1. 80% of all users
    2. IDs dynamically enrich all bid requests
      1. Dynamic enrichment provides an AI-based algorithm that chooses which IDs are enriched for each SSP.
        1. Adapex varies enrichment by browser, SSP, DSP (when available), and Brand (when available) and adds additional variables to this process. 
  5. Measurement
    1. Adapex provides a dashboard illustrating the following:
      1. Total Programmatic Revenue
      2. Total Revenue
      3. RPM
      4. RPS
      5. Bid Density

Comparing the Active Cohort to the Control Cohort.

  1. Users can dynamically compare these measurements by:
    1. Time period
    2. SSP
    3. Browser
    4. DSP

 

It typically requires about seven days to see the results from the Adapex Data Refinery.
