|---|---|---|
| Decisioning framework | FIRE scoring (Fit, Intent, Recency, Engagement) tied to a Goal -> KPI -> Target model | Campaign and creative decisioning inside journey builders |

| Syncs segments to your tools; strategy stays with your team | Decisions arrive with the audience; you keep approval | Operating model |
| Four context pillars: audience, brand, domain, outcome | Segment-to-destination syncs and journey builders | Decisions grounded in your audience context and brand context |
| Audience architecture | OneSource immutable IDs you own, with a pre-unified signals waterfall | Segments and journeys your team defines and maintains |
| No double-spend on the same lead across campaigns | Pricing model | Audience-based fee with usage tiers. Zero percent of spend. |
| Composable CDP platform subscription | Pay for intelligence, not just plumbing | Time to first activation |
| Days. Trial begins on first sync. | Fast setup, then strategy is on your team | Ship this quarter, not next |
| Measurement | Causal measurement loop with Decision Traces | Sync and journey reporting; no causal engine |
| See why a campaign worked, not just that it did | Channels | Meta, Google Customer Match, LinkedIn, Reddit, CTV via The Trade Desk, TikTok, and more |
| Broad destination catalog; syncs without decisioning | Fewer, sharper activations that compound | Days |
| From signup to first paid activation | vs sync-and-journey setup | 100% |
| Of interactions observed, human and AI agents alike | 0% | Of decisions shipped without a traceable why |
