Get instant visibility into campaign pacing and performance:⚖️ Scoring Configuration
Control campaign performance measurement with three-component scoring. Campaigns can use a weighted formula combining Quality, Outcome, and Story Affinity scores for performance evaluation. You configure the weights and outcome measurement timing.- Performance-Focused Setup
- Audience Testing Setup
Optimize for conversions and outcomes
The Three Scoring Components
Quality Score (Scope3-provided)- Impression quality, viewability, completion rates
- IVT detection and brand safety metrics
- Scale: 0-100 (100 = premium media quality)
- Your normalized measurement data (ROAS, conversions, brand lift)
- Scale: 0-1000 (100 = meets target, 1000 = 10x target)
- You define what the numbers mean
- How well tactics align with your selected brand stories
- Uses the brand stories you created and assigned
- Scale: 0-100 (100 = perfect story alignment)
Weights determine relative importance of each component for budget allocation. See the Scoring Guide for detailed explanation and weight strategy examples.
Outcome Score Window Days
Critical for RL algorithm performance. Specify how many days before your outcome measurement data arrives:- Immediate data: 0-1 days (engagement, clicks)
- Attribution data: 1-7 days (conversions, CRM matching)
- Brand studies: 7-30 days (lift measurement)
- MMM data: 30+ days (incrementality studies)
