On July 11, 2022, we completed the Jan 2021 – April 2022 restatement Internet Display, Online Video, Mobile Web and Mobile Video media. This restatement incorporated Panel measurement into the revised methodology. The previous digital methodology involved collection by 53 automated web crawlers located in the top 53 markets, and essentially, we added 1.2 million panel members across the US. (1,200,053 > 53). In adding the panel, ALL activity needed to be recalculated to account for the thousands of new ads detected via the panel.

Since Pathmatics restates data frequently based on earnings reports (and revised earnings reports), Vivvix plans for ongoing quarterly Paid Social restatements.
