Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-09-30

Suitable for bounded media-buying pilots with human approval and independent measurement.

Why
A real campaign demonstrates useful execution and inventory quality, but broad interoperability and current-version reliability remain unproven.
Next
Agree on a protocol version with partners, retain budget and inventory approvals, and compare delivery, fees and quality against an existing buying workflow.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Limited independent evidence across vendors and channels
  • Rapid specification changes complicate interoperability
  • Human approval remains necessary for consequential buying decisions
  • Reported efficiencies may depend on the supplier and supply path
