I built an engine that refused to issue directives on two real clients — here’s why that’s the point

Launching CDAI tomorrow. Before you upvote or ignore it, here s what actually happened when I ran it on real data.

Two real businesses. Two different problems.

Client 1 Google Ads data, ~$2,100 spend, 37 conversions. Engine ingested everything cleanly. Then the health monitor flagged the data as 4 months stale and set directive_safe = FALSE. No directives issued. A SCALE recommendation on stale data is worse than no recommendation at all.

Client 2 Meta Ads, $2,414 spend, 7 campaigns ingested perfectly. 276 CRM leads every single one had Contact Import as the source field. No campaign attribution. Engine refused to ingest them. directive_safe = FALSE. No directives issued.

Allocera Intelligence - Your ad campaigns are lying to you. CDAI finds out why.

CDAI assembles every hidden cost — broker fees, refunds, chargebacks, compliance — into one true margin number per campaign across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and all major platforms. Built for advertisers spending $100K–$5M/month.
