Visitor arrives
A page request enters the publisher site and native traffic-quality observation begins.
HOW IT WORKS
Analyze first. Apply protection with evidence.
IVT Solution evaluates publisher-side traffic signals before configured website-protection and monetization decisions are applied. The workflow keeps traffic analysis, access protection and ad eligibility as distinct responsibilities.
DECISION WORKFLOW
From visitor arrival to an eligible ad request
Each stage has a defined role so unusual traffic is analyzed before stronger configured action is considered.
Native analysis
Automation, behavior, network, acquisition, reputation, integrity and other available signals are evaluated.
Risk correlation
Multiple dimensions, supporting evidence and confidence are correlated into an explainable publisher-side view.
Protection decision
Website access remains governed by the configured protection mode and applicable native protection rules.
Revenue Guard
Ad eligibility is evaluated separately before a permitted advertising request is allowed to proceed.
ANALYZE FIRST
Evidence is interpreted in context
IVT Solution is designed to avoid turning a single unusual characteristic into an automatic invalid-traffic conclusion.
Collect native evidence
Publisher-side signals provide context about how a visitor, request and session behave.
- Automation and browser behavior
- Rate and interaction patterns
- Network and acquisition context
Correlate supporting signals
Risk is interpreted across multiple dimensions rather than relying on one isolated signal.
- Reputation and integrity evidence
- Acquisition and referrer context
- Confidence and explainable reasons
Keep uncertainty non-enforcing
Unknown or incomplete evidence does not need to become a stronger protection verdict by itself.
- Preserve legitimate traffic
- Avoid unnecessary false positives
- Escalate only when configured evidence supports it
Add enhanced evidence when enabled
In Enhanced Protection, approved external intelligence can supplement native analysis while native protection remains primary.
- Provider evidence remains attributable
- Unavailable providers do not become proof of risk
- Native and provider reporting remain distinguishable
SEPARATE DECISIONS
Website access and ad eligibility are different decisions
Traffic protection and monetization protection can respond differently to the same evidence because they serve different publisher responsibilities.
REVENUE GUARD
Protect monetization without automatically denying access
A visitor may remain eligible to access website content while Revenue Guard independently evaluates whether an advertising request should proceed.
This separation allows publishers to reduce risky ad exposure without treating every unusual visitor as a confirmed invalid user.
1
Traffic analysis
Evaluate available native evidence and risk context.
2
Website protection
Apply only the access action permitted by the active protection mode and configured rules.
3
Revenue Guard
Evaluate publisher-side ad eligibility separately before the ad request.
4
Permitted ad request
If eligible, the normal advertising-platform request may proceed without IVT Solution manipulating the creative or ad frame.
RESPONSIBILITY BOUNDARIES
Publisher protection without claiming platform authority
IVT Solution provides publisher-side traffic-quality intelligence, controls and observations while advertising platforms remain authoritative for their own measurements and policy enforcement.
Publisher-side intelligence
IVT Solution evaluates its own traffic-quality evidence, classifications and configured protection outcomes.
Publisher-side ad telemetry
GPT request, response, render-ended and viewability lifecycle observations remain publisher-side telemetry.
Advertising-platform authority
Google and other advertising platforms retain authority over their own IVT classification, measurements, billing and enforcement.
