H.O.T. AGH.O.T. AG conducts independent media audits as separate advisory mandates. Depending on the question, we review agency organization and contracts, strategy and planning, buying and costs, transparency and documentation, as well as digital media quality, supply paths, Ad Fraud and Brand Safety.
Scope can range from agency organization, FTE and competence models, fees, technology and contract costs through strategy, audiences, media plans and budget allocation to buying conditions, reporting, quality control and benchmarking.
Media Forensics is a specialized audit module for digital delivery and quality signals. A broader media audit can also include commercial, organizational, strategic and operational layers.
FouAnalytics can provide an independent technical evidence layer for in-ad and on-site signals. The technology does not replace audit advisory; measurement, interpretation and recommendation remain separate steps.
Because the credibility of an audit depends on transparent separation of the audit scope, commercial interests and operational responsibility. That role separation is part of our governance.
H.O.T. AG charges no consulting fee for the analysis, forensic interpretation or findings session. Only FouAnalytics technical measurement costs apply and are disclosed before the audit.
