How does The Ad Spend differ from Skai for enterprise teams?

They overlap on cross-channel detection and action. What The Ad Spend adds is the layer enterprises keep asking for: a permanent, time-stamped ledger of who changed what, when and why, plus causal inference tying each metric move to the exact configuration change behind it — with nothing executing without approval.

Skai's Executive Copilot flags anomalies — isn't that the same as Signal?

Skai's Copilot surfaces anomalies and performance drivers, which is driver analysis on outcomes. The Ad Spend's detection runs against a forecast trained on your own history and connects each finding to a timestamped change on the record — a causal link to a specific edit, not a correlation with a metric.

Does The Ad Spend cover retail media like Skai?

No. Skai's retail media coverage — Amazon and beyond — is a genuine strength, and if retail media is central to your mix, Skai earns its place. The Ad Spend covers Google, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok and Reddit, with the record and causal layer Skai doesn't keep.

How does The Ad Spend handle governance at enterprise scale?

Governance is built into the record: every change is time-stamped with who made it and why, every recommendation carries its reasoning and projected impact, and nothing executes without approval. When leadership asks what happened last quarter, the account explains itself — no reconstruction.
