New - How Vivvix Uses CPU to Calculate Spending:

A cost per unit (CPU) calculation better reflects the inherent value, from the seller perspective, and the out of pocket cost, from the buyer perspective, of the TV commercial placement. We now have a dedicated rates team to calibrate the inputs for greater stability. These rates are coming from squad, from network inputs, from information from the third-party domain and various reports .They're calibrating these inputs for greater specificity, especially around high-value high-impact programming.

CPUs are calibrated across three important dimensions:

Rates

CPUs are sources from third party aggregators, contributing media owners, and trade associations.

Ad Placement Detail

The cost of each unique occurrence is calculated according to its Property, Date, Daypart, Program, and Commercial Duration.

Advertiser Classification

Adjustments may be applied to specific types of advertisers such as Direct Response, House Ads, and Promos.
