Optimize ad pods for viewability/frequency; integrate brand safety.

Optimizing ad pod performance involves maximizing both the visibility (viewability) and the number of times an advertisement is shown (frequency), while also ensuring that ads appear in contexts aligned with a brand's values and standards.

Run A/Bs; monitor QoE, churn, revenue; iterate.

Conducting A/B tests allows you to systematically evaluate different variations of your product or service, tracking key metrics like user experience (QoE), customer churn rate, and revenue generated. The results should then be used to refine your strategy and continuously improve performance.
