A 6-bit integer, with noise added on purpose.

On iOS, attribution is a number from 0 to 63, delayed, with noise added by design. Then three systems count the same installs and disagree.

Your AI employee reads what you can still change: Adgent analyses the creative already running, remembers the hooks and concepts that matter to your team, and carries that context into the next analysis and report.

Creative wears out faster than measurement answers.

So which creative to make next can't wait for attribution.

We don't read your attribution provider.

If install-level truth is all you need, we're not the right tool this quarter.

Adgent reads Meta and Google. TikTok isn't connected, a real gap on a user-acquisition stack.

Measurement here is an adoption problem as much as a technical one.

What iOS attribution gives back, what most teams leave on the table, and why early returns mislead.

Most users say yes. Almost nobody asks.

Only about 8% of the apps Kochava sees show Apple's tracking prompt, yet close to 70% of people who see it now accept. Only 11% of advertisers have fully implemented SKAdNetwork and are actively optimising it; roughly a third haven't implemented it at all.

A blended day-7 return describes no campaign.

By day 7, ad revenue has reached 89% of its day-60 total, in-app purchases 60% and subscriptions 52%. Average them into one early figure and a subscription campaign looks worse than it is.

Nulls are not zeros.

Below Apple's anonymity threshold you get no value back, not a zero. Read the blanks as zeros and you understate exactly the new and small campaigns you are trying to judge.

Creative volume has outrun the monthly review.

The top user-acquisition spenders produced around 2,400 to 2,600 creatives per app per quarter in 2025, up 25 to 30% on the year. At a five-to-fourteen-day creative life, a monthly review is reading work that has already been retired.

What user-acquisition teams ask first.

Can it tell me whether the installs I'm buying are any good?
Not on its own, and it says so. Install quality lives in your attribution provider, mediation platform and warehouse, and Adgent reads none of them. It reads Meta and Google Ads and the creative running on them, the half of this problem that moves fastest.
How do I judge iOS campaigns when attribution is noisy on purpose?
As an estimate, never a count, and never with blanks read as zeros. Adgent reads each connected account daily, current through the previous full day, and the Trust Gate labels a metric window before it is scored: one it can't trust can raise a finding, never an action. Trust Gate
How early can I tell a creative is wearing out?
Before the cost confirms it. Each running ad is read for hook, format, persona, angle, offer, visuals and audio, with the hold curve showing where viewers leave, and each concept gets a call: still scaling, or wearing out and needing a new angle rather than another variant. It reads the ads already running, with no upload step. Creative analysis
What does ground truth mean when the conversion happens in the app?
A number the ad platform doesn't control. For in-app revenue that sits in your attribution provider, mediation platform or warehouse, and Adgent doesn't read those. On the web side it reads GA4 and Search Console beside the platforms, as context. If install-level truth is all you need, we're not the right tool this quarter. Ground truth

Have your running creatives read the way a buyer would.

Adgent keeps the creative read beside delivery and signal quality, so the next report starts with the concept that moved, not a flat asset list.
