# Primagn

*/Startups/Primagn*

## Startup Overview

This validation engine automatically checks digital ad creatives against the strict technical specifications of ad networks and publishers before launch. It ingests video, display, and rich media assets, instantly verifying file sizes, bitrates, dimensions, and tracking tags against a constantly updated database of publisher rules.

Media buyers, ad agencies, and brand marketing teams face routine campaign delays when publishers reject assets for minor formatting errors. Instead of relying on manual QA workflows or heavy campaign management suites like Mediaocean, production teams route their finalized files directly through the validation endpoint. It flags non-compliant technical elements immediately, preventing rework and missed launch windows.

Unlike visual compliance dashboards such as CreativeX, the platform is structurally headless for zero-latency execution within existing asset management pipelines. By operating strictly in the background and charging exclusively per successful deployment, it aligns infrastructure costs directly with actual campaign delivery rather than software seats or raw asset volume.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting a 0% technical rejection rate for programmatic display and video payloads
- Aiming to process publisher compliance validations in under 30 milliseconds per asset
- Designed to eliminate up to 90% of manual technical QA hours for high-volume media agencies
**Tiers**:
- Name: Sandbox · Price: Free · Inclusions: Up to 500 API calls per month, designed for development teams to test technical integrations and payload structures in staging environments.
- Name: Metered Deployment · Price: ~$0.10–$0.25 per successful validation · Inclusions: Unlimited API validation requests, billed strictly per successful asset deployment that passes the target publisher's technical requirements.
- Name: Volume Commit · Price: ~$3,000–$8,000/mo commit · Inclusions: High-throughput validation processing for media agencies, reducing the per-asset validation rate to ~$0.02–$0.05, including dedicated SLA support.
**Guarantee**: If an asset validated by Primagn is subsequently rejected by the target publisher for a technical specification error (such as file weight, codec, or dimension mismatch), Primagn refunds the validation fee and issues a credit for the disruption.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Publisher specs change without warning: Primagn is designed to programmatically monitor and ingest technical documentation updates from major publishers to prevent rule drift.
- Ad-ops teams rely on visual tools, not APIs: By operating headlessly, Primagn is intended to integrate directly into your existing DAM or media buying platform, requiring zero new interfaces for ad-ops staff.
- We need subjective quality checks: Primagn strictly enforces objective technical compliance (weight, format, VAST structure) rather than subjective creative quality, automating only the programmatic roadblocks.
- Usage pricing is too unpredictable for campaign budgets: Built-in spend caps and bulk commitment tiers are designed to ensure validation costs remain a predictable, marginal fraction of the overall media spend.

## Startup Buyer Chain

**Chain**: B2B → Ad Ops Developer → Media Agency → Brand Advertiser
**Gtm Motion**: Bottom-up adoption targets ad ops engineers integrating validation APIs into their deployment pipelines, expanding revenue through a usage-based model that charges per successful creative deployment across the agency's broader client portfolio.
**Agent Channel**: Designed to be listed in the LangChain tool registry and agent-facing programmatic API catalogs as a creative validation node, allowing autonomous media-buying agents to dynamically verify asset specifications against publisher rules before deployment.
**Primary Channel**: Developer-focused package registries and search surfaces where technical ad ops teams actively look for publisher spec checker scripts or programmatic HTML5 ad validation APIs.

## Startup Proof Points

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

**Pilot Goals**:
- A 14-day staging pilot with a media agency, processing historical assets to prove the API catches 100% of the technical errors that previously caused publisher rejections.
- A 30-day live deployment pilot integrating the validation API into a trading desk workflow, aiming to demonstrate zero technical rejections across live campaign asset deployments.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 0% technical rejection rate by publishers for validated ad payloads
- Target: Under 30 milliseconds validation latency per asset
- Aim: 90% reduction in manual technical QA hours for ad-operations staff
- Aim: 100% automated detection of file weight and codec mismatches prior to deployment
**Target Case Studies**:
- Target: Global Media Agency. Transformation: Eliminate manual file-weight and codec checks, routing high-volume video assets directly from DAM to DSP without human intervention.
- Target: Mid-Market Programmatic Trading Desk. Transformation: Reduce campaign launch delays caused by publisher spec rejections to zero, utilizing the headless API to pre-validate display assets before exchange upload.
- Target: Independent Creative Production Shop. Transformation: Automate technical compliance checks before delivering assets to media buyers, ensuring zero kickbacks for incorrect VAST structures or dimension mismatches.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Director of Ad Operations: Relief that the team no longer manually checks video codecs and file weights, shifting focus entirely to campaign performance and pacing.
- Lead DAM Engineer: Appreciation for the headless API integration and sub-30ms response time, adding zero noticeable latency to automated asset deployment workflows.
- VP of Programmatic Strategy: Confidence derived from the SLA and validation guarantee, knowing technical spec rejections will no longer disrupt client media schedules.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Major ad networks alter their technical creative specifications without warning, causing the validation engine to approve non-compliant assets and breaking deployments. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: The per-successful-deployment pricing model creates massive compute costs without revenue when clients submit large volumes of non-compliant assets that fail validation. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: Walled-garden publishers bundle their own zero-latency validation APIs directly into DSPs, rendering a third-party headless validation layer unnecessary. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: Media agency QA teams refuse to adopt a headless API workflow, forcing the development of an expensive UI to match legacy competitors like Mediaocean. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
