Read your traffic before the hold clears.
The standard is a 14-day hold before you know if a source hit Q5. Acquire's goal is to call quality earlier - so you scale winners and cut dead sources while everyone else is still waiting.
Quality only shows up after a 14-day hold.
You can only judge affiliate traffic once players reach Q5, two weeks in. Every hold is a brake on how fast you can scale.
Two weeks of waiting is two weeks of lost ground.
The delay compounds against you:
- While you wait out the hold, you are not buying new sources
- Competitors run the same 14-day hold - nobody is faster
- Budget sits on sources you cannot yet confirm or kill
Score the source, not just the cohort.
Early quality signal
Scores a source against your history to read quality before the hold clears.
Affiliate ROI
Value returned versus paid volume, so a cheap source that never pays is exposed.
Scale / cut, sooner
A scale-or-cut call on each source days earlier than a full hold would give it.
Scale a winner earlier, cut a dead source before day 14.
Lean into a promising source days sooner and pull budget from a weak one without waiting out the full hold. The decision it drives: scale or cut.
In pilot, measured against your current read.
In pilot on your live traffic - measured against your existing 14-day read, not a guarantee. We run alongside your current hold and show you how close the early call lands before you trust it.
Test it on your own sources.
Bring a slice of live traffic. We run Acquire beside your normal hold and you judge the early call.
