# Kettio

> Kettio (pronounced "KET-ee-oh") is a pre-spend ad creative ranking platform for DTC brands and performance agencies.

The product: rank a comparable creative batch for a specific buyer and conversion goal, get a directional shortlist with rationale and confidence signals, then use live media as the final behavioral proof.

## Validation and methodology

- Kettio's scoring engine (SSR — Synthetic Survey Rendering) is validated against University of Washington survey panels at Spearman ρ = 0.78 (n = 160 paired ads, text-embedding-3-large).
- Pairwise agreement with real CTR labels on the CreativeRanking benchmark: 70.3% within-product (Bradley-Terry panel).
- These benchmark results measure different outcomes and must not be combined into one accuracy claim.
- Neither result is a CPA, ROAS, purchase, or exact-winner guarantee.

## Rank API notes for agents

- Use REST `POST /api/v1/rank` for high-volume batch scoring and simulation runs.
- Use REST `POST /api/v1/pairwise` for explicit five-voter Haiku Bradley-Terry comparisons after scoring.
- Use the MCP server for asset workflow tasks: list, generate, edit, remove backgrounds, and open assets.
- Rank requests can include per-asset `copy_context`, `platform`, `campaign_type`, and `refine_close_pairs`.
- Pairwise requests accept 1-10 explicit pairs, the same inline-or-saved audience contract, and return every blinded vote plus `pairwise_evaluations`.
- Rate limits and credits are based on successful `scoring_evaluations`. Image-only assets usually use 1; assets with `copy_context` can use 2 because Kettio also runs an image-only ablation and returns `image_only_score` and `copy_lift`.
- Near-tie pairwise results are reported in `summary.close_pair_refinement` and per-asset `panel_outcome`.
