Make YouTube advertising behave.
You are buying thousands of YouTube channels you have never actually looked at. Architect scores every one on whether it is worth the money, points to the channels doing nothing, and keeps you off content made for kids.
Safe ≠ Effective
Is this inventory safe to run next to my brand?
Is this inventory actually worth buying?
A channel can clear every brand safety check and still be a waste of money. That is the part nobody grades.
Clear. Review. Exclude.
Every channel on the plan is scored on quality and waste, then sorted into three verdicts: keep, check, or drop.
| Channel | Vertical | Subs | Safety | Quality | Waste | Budget |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daybreak Series | Entertainment | 1.0M | 88 | 91 | 4% | €800 |
| Midtown Hour | Entertainment | 1.2M | 89 | 89 | 8% | €17,629 |

Example output, not measured campaign data. Sort logic shown is illustrative.
One question, asked three levels deep.
Media measurement turns financial in stages. We answer all three on the same graph and the same scale, and we say plainly which stage ships today and which one is where we are going.
- 01Live nowYou are here
How much of this budget is going nowhere?
Every channel on the plan screened, scored and sorted into Clear, Review or Exclude. Attach the plan's spend and each verdict carries the money behind it, so the answer is budget you can move, not a score.
- 02Calibrating
What is each channel actually worth?
Return on media investment scored per channel, calibrated with outcome data from every plan we measure. The graph gets sharper with each one.
- 03Where this goes
What did the media cause for the business?
Incremental revenue, profit contribution and payback, measured against a world where the spend never happened. Same graph, same scale, auditable.
Working media share is the one number that runs the whole ladder: the share of a line item that clears both safety and effectiveness. On any plan, in any market.
One line item. Tens of thousands of channels.
A single YouTube line item can hide tens of thousands of channels. Architect grades every one. Some of the spend will look perfectly legitimate. That does not mean it did anything for you.
Screened
Brand safety, suitability and kids-audience exclusion applied to every channel.
Scored
Each channel rated for safety, audience fit, quality and waste.
Sorted
Every channel placed into Clear, Review or Exclude.
Illustrative analysis on a representative single market plan. Channel counts by verdict are shown live in a pilot on your own plan.
Where the ratings come from.
Every rating traces back to something you can check: a channel in the graph, a model we can explain, a method that is written down. Brand safety was only ever half the question. We built the other half, whether the safe inventory is worth the money. Where we do not know yet, we say so.
- GraphEvery channel is a node: what it is, who watches, whether it is safe, whether it returns. Edges track which channels overlap and cannibalise each other
- ClassifierOur own content classifier leads the suitability and child audience screening, with industry frameworks and verification signals as inputs
- CalibrationOutcomes from every scored plan feed back into the graph. Early partners get the sharpest ratings first
- PrivacyChannel aggregate, never individual. No person level data in the chain
