# Advimb

*/Startups/Advimb*

## Startup Overview

This system autonomously reconciles Demand-Side Platform (DSP) delivery logs directly against network billing records. Instead of relying on sampled data to estimate campaign delivery, it ingests raw log files from advertising platforms and matches every executed impression to its corresponding financial line item. This ensures media buyers and publishers settle invoices based on verified, exact delivery counts.

Digital advertising operators traditionally rely on manual spreadsheet reconciliation to resolve discrepancies between DSP reports and final network bills. By automating this exact-match process, the platform eliminates the weeks-long delays and data entry errors inherent in manual auditing. Media teams close their ledgers immediately at the end of a billing cycle rather than negotiating over unaccounted delivery gaps.

Unlike Integral Ad Science or DoubleVerify, which provide probabilistic sampling or viewability metrics, this architecture operates as a fully deterministic financial ledger. It executes reconciliation continuously throughout the campaign lifecycle rather than relying on batch-processed reporting at the end of the month. This exact, continuous matching identifies billing faults instantly and guarantees that buyers pay only for verifiably served media.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Aim to reduce end-of-month manual reconciliation hours for mid-sized agencies by at least 80%.
- Target identifying 2–5% in structural network over-billing typically missed by probabilistic verification tools.
- Aiming to help high-spend agencies recover ~$10k–$50k per quarter in uncredited make-goods.
- Designed to process and reconcile daily log batches within 15 minutes of DSP export.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Log Processing · Price: ~$0.02–$0.04 per 1,000 impressions · Inclusions: Continuous DSP log ingestion up to 50M impressions per month, deterministic discrepancy flagging, and standard network billing export for small to mid-sized teams.
- Name: High-Volume Reconciliation · Price: ~$0.005–$0.015 per 1,000 impressions · Inclusions: Unlimited DSP log volume processing, multi-network cross-referencing, automated make-good claim generation, and intended direct ERP billing integrations for enterprise AdOps teams.
**Guarantee**: If the platform fails to detect a verifiable billing discrepancy between your DSP logs and network reports that a manual audit subsequently uncovers, we will refund the metered processing cost for that specific campaign.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- How do we know your deterministic matching won't generate unmanageable false positives? Advimb relies on strict key-value matching of raw impression IDs, flagging only absolute mismatches rather than relying on probabilistic guessing.
- Networks won't accept third-party discrepancy reports. Advimb is designed to format claims using the exact raw log extracts and standard templates that networks already require for manual make-goods.
- Log files are too massive for daily manual uploads. The system is designed to ingest compressed logs autonomously via direct cloud bucket syncing (AWS S3/GCP) to eliminate manual file handling.
- Does this require us to change our ad server or DSP? No, the platform is built to ingest standard delivery logs via API or SFTP from your existing DSP without altering your active buying workflow.

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: Advimb → Agency AdOps & Finance Teams → Brand Advertisers
**Gtm Motion**: Acquires mid-market agency AdOps teams through direct outbound offering a free historical audit of a single campaign's DSP logs to uncover billing discrepancies. Expands by deploying across the agency's entire client portfolio and connecting to additional DSPs to capture a higher volume of managed spend.
**Agent Channel**: Intended to list in the OpenAI Action catalog and autonomous financial auditor directories as a deterministic log-reconciliation API, enabling AI media-buying agents to verify DSP delivery before clearing programmatic invoices.
**Primary Channel**: Direct outbound via LinkedIn Sales Navigator targeting AdOps Directors and Agency CFOs, paired with targeted replies in adtech Slack communities like Programmatic I/O when users search for or ask about delivery log discrepancies.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day parallel run: Run Advimb's automated deterministic flagging alongside a mid-sized agency's manual end-of-month audit to prove an 80% reduction in processing time while catching equal or greater discrepancies.
- 60-day historical audit: Ingest a high-volume AdOps team's raw logs from the previous quarter to target the identification of at least $10k in undocumented make-good opportunities.
- 14-day technical proof-of-concept: Connect Advimb to an agency's AWS S3 or GCP buckets to validate that daily DSP exports are autonomously ingested and processed within the 15-minute target threshold without manual file handling.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 80% reduction in end-of-month manual reconciliation hours.
- Aim: 2-5% identification of structural network over-billing.
- Target: $10,000-$50,000 quarterly recovery in uncredited make-goods for high-spend accounts.
- Aim: 15-minute processing turnaround for daily DSP log batch ingestion.
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-sized independent media agency: Transition from 40+ hours of manual end-of-month spreadsheet reconciliation to automated daily DSP log syncing, reallocating AdOps time to active campaign optimization.
- Enterprise AdOps team: Utilization of deterministic key-value matching across multi-network high-volume spend to document and successfully submit claims for structural over-billing previously missed by probabilistic tools.
- Performance marketing firm: Integration of automated make-good claim generation exports to accelerate monthly network refund cycles without requiring additional billing headcount.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Director of Ad Operations: Expresses relief that strict key-value matching of impression IDs eliminates false positives, resulting in network representatives accepting the discrepancy claims without pushback.
- Media Agency Billing Manager: Highlights that the automated claim exports perfectly match the raw log extracts and standard templates networks require, ending the typical back-and-forth over formatting.
- Programmatic Media Buyer: Appreciates that the daily S3/GCP cloud bucket syncing handles massive log files autonomously, allowing them to verify billing without altering their daily DSP workflow.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:

## Startup Story Brand

**Hero**:
- **Need**: to be the rigorous steward of client capital, not a spreadsheet technician
- **Want**: to recover every dollar of uncredited make-goods from network over-billing
- **Identity**: the AdOps lead at a high-volume performance agency
**Plan**:
- Step: Submit logs · Detail: Sync your AWS S3 or GCP buckets to feed raw DSP delivery data into the reconciliation engine.
- Step: Review discrepancies · Detail: Inspect deterministic flags where network billing exceeds your actual logged impression count.
- Step: Export claims · Detail: Download network-ready make-good reports formatted exactly to the requirements of your billing department.
**Guide**:
- **Empathy**: Thousands in recoverable spend are lost in the gap between DSP exports and network invoices — but manual audits simply cannot keep pace with 50M+ monthly impressions.
**Problem**:
- **Villain**: probabilistic verification
- **External**: Reconciling DSP delivery logs against network billing in Excel takes forty manual hours per campaign cycle.
- **Internal**: You feel exposed when clients ask why billed impressions don't match the raw logs.
- **Philosophical**: Every media buyer deserves billing based on absolute delivery facts — not statistical estimates.
**Success**: Your team captures every structural over-billing error daily, recovering five figures in uncredited spend every quarter with zero manual data entry.
**One Liner**: Every month, AdOps teams lose thousands to unverified network billing. Advimb reconciles DSP logs deterministically so you capture every recoverable make-good.
**Positioning**:

- **Unlike**: DoubleVerify and manual Excel reconciliation
- **For Whom**: AdOps leads at high-volume agencies
- **Category**: Continuous DSP Reconciliation Service
**Call To Action**:
- **Direct**: Process daily logs
- **Transitional**: View discrepancy report sample
**Failure Stakes**:
- Invisible 5% over-billing leakage
- Dozens of manual audit hours
- Unrecovered network make-goods
**Transformation**:
- **To**: the lead who recaptures lost client margin autonomously
- **From**: the AdOps analyst trapped in Excel VLOOKUP hell
