“Scored 87 on the AI Max audit. Auto-Apply Lockdown came in at 11/40 - everything was on. Disabled four categories the next morning and recovered 7% of monthly spend in 30 days.”
“My team argued for months about whether our EMQ was the problem. The Andromeda audit's Dimension 2 ended that conversation in 12 minutes - we were at 5.4. Now at 8.6. CPMs dropped 32%.”
“Walked into a Klaviyo pitch with a 96 audit score for a prospective client and a prioritized remediation list. They signed a 12-month retainer the same call.”
“Scored 94 on the Andromeda audit. I thought our creative was fine. Dimension 1 (Creative Diversity Index) was a 14 out of 40 - '15 colorways' problem. Ship rate up, ROAS up two quarters running.”
“Run the AI Max audit quarterly. 84 → 142 → 178 across three quarters. The September migration window is real and the score is the only honest tracker of how exposed we still are.”
“The Klaviyo audit's Dimension 5 (AI-SMS compliance) caught a sample-match drift our T-Mobile rep would have caught for us with a $10K fine. Worth running before any Composer rollout.”
