02 · In the field
Different stacks. Different leaks. Same shape of lift.
Four archetypes of publisher stack, different leaks, same shape of lift when the right levers get pulled. Figures are post-deploy vs. prior stack, anonymized by category.

03 · From the publishers
The lift in their words.
When the right setup is in place, performance follows quickly. Sometimes the results are visible from the very start.

Public LinkedIn post, April 2026
RPS climbed 60% in the first quarter and our ad load didn’t move. After three different yield partners, we finally have an answer.
Programmatic Director
Top-500 sports publisher
Every yield deck used to end with ‘trust us.’ Adverge sent us the optimization logic, the dashboards, and the data. We can finally explain the lift to our team.

A/B split, same stack
Session-level split against your existing configuration. The Yield Cortex™ challenger runs through our logic; control runs as-is. Cleanest read on the auction mechanics alone.
Mode · 02
AI-driven optimization
Plug-and-play implementation. Yield optimization managed on our side, your team stays focused on editorial and audience while revenue compounds.
Mode · 03
Transparent uplift proofs
Real-time, session-level reporting on uplifts across the infrastructure. Most of the market is a black box, we publish the auction math so you see exactly where growth came from.
05 · Questions we get
Straight answers.
Do I have to rip out my current stack?
No. Yield Cortex A/B tests run alongside what you have today. Easy implementation, full orchestration, transparent results.
Who owns the data and the relationships?
You always own your data. You decide on your relationships, keep your SSP and DSP direct deals, lean into ours, or run a hybrid. Our infrastructure flexes to your needs.
How long until we see lift?
First-window read begins at launch. Usual stabilization by day 7, with ongoing uplifts from there. Every publisher we’ve deployed with has seen double-digit growth inside the first 30 days.
What’s the commercial model?
Revshare, IaaS, or hybrid, we work with what works best for you. No lock-ins, no bundled demand requirements, and every lever is available standalone. Scale up or out as the numbers prove themselves.
Is this compatible with Prebid / header bidding?
Yes, we’re Prebid-first. What we build ships compatible with where the open auction is heading, including agentic AI and LLM-mediated demand paths.
