## Startup Overview

This headless SaaS engine ingests unstructured media player logs, campaign screenshots, and installation photos directly from field operators. Using vision-language models, the platform autonomously verifies out-of-home ad delivery against original insertion orders. Media buying agencies use the system to instantly reconcile proof of play across hundreds of disjointed vendor formats without human intervention.

Traditional verification relies on manual spot checking, standard ad spreadsheets, or third-party verification agencies that only evaluate a fraction of active placements. This solution delivers total audit coverage across every campaign creative rather than settling for random sampling. By processing visual evidence and log data simultaneously, the engine eliminates the operational drag of manually parsing thousands of vendor reports, ensuring media buyers confirm every placement before final billing.
