Tool Sprawl Risk Audit — Ad Tech

Find out how much spreadsheet and SaaS sprawl is costing Ad Tech — and where a purpose-built internal tool pays off.

Signs of tool sprawl in Ad Tech

  • Third-party cookie deprecation, ATT, and platform privacy changes have eroded the deterministic identity signal the original models depended on.
  • Multi-touch attribution outputs are increasingly contested by clients — finance teams want incrementality, marketing teams want credit for activity, and the platform sits in the middle.
  • Take rate is compressing as agency, brand, and platform-buying-team scrutiny on the ad tech tax escalates.
  • Retail media networks and walled-garden platforms are absorbing budget that used to flow through open-web SSPs and DSPs.
