Our PIQ Agent collects 100+ signal data by simulating human browsing across the open web, YouTube & CTV.
Inventory quality measures whether an ad placement is likely to drive performance. PIQ reads 100+ signals on every placement, then values each impression sell-side in the bid stream to optimise towards your desired objective.
