§ 01 · Preamble

Ad Atelier reads your ad creative before you spend and predicts which audience pool Meta’s algorithm will route it to. This is upstream of every other ad metric.


§ 02 · What this predicts

For every creative submitted, Ad Atelier returns a reading consisting of:

  • ·The aesthetic tribe Meta is likely to route to
  • ·The age band and gender skew that tribe carries
  • ·A six-axis breakdown of where the creative is strong and where it falters
  • ·The single weakest axis — the one most likely to limit reach
  • ·Three suggestions for the next iteration, with expected score deltas
  • ·An entity signature — the fingerprint that determines whether this creative will be collapsed into another’s delivery pool

The reading takes between two and eight seconds per creative.

§ 03 · The reading process

01

Upload

Submit a creative — image, video, or carousel.

02

Read

The atlas analyzes visual signals against Meta's routing patterns. 2-8 seconds.

03

Verdict

Predicted tribe, six-axis score, weakest axis, persona fit.

04

Calibrate

Connect Meta on the Brand tier. Every reading after improves.


§ 04 · Calibration

The baseline reads accurately across most fashion DTC archetypes. Beyond that, connecting Meta lets the atlas learn your brand’s specific divergence patterns — every subsequent reading improves.

No brand’s calibration data is shared with another.


§ 05 · Out of scope

Ad Atelier does not predict:

  • ·Click-through rates, conversion rates, ROAS
  • ·Auction outcomes, cost per impression
  • ·Stage 2 user-level targeting
  • ·Whether a winning ad in one tribe will scale into another

These belong downstream. Ad Atelier reads the upstream — eligibility, not outcome.

— Recommended

“Unlimited within fair use” means: the Brand tier accommodates the natural rhythm of a single brand’s creative testing, typically well under 500 readings per month. Should your usage consistently exceed this, write to us — we’ll find an arrangement that fits.
