Client case evidence

These are the agencies' own published case pages. We have read each one and restated what it says, keeping the original period and unit. We have not audited the underlying data, and nothing on these pages was used to set or raise a score. Where a retrieval date is shown, it is the date the page was read — not a review sign-off.

- 637% month-on-month app install growth
- 92% month-on-month reduction in cost per registration
Scope and attribution: The same page separately describes a 6-month engagement, so each figure keeps its own stated period. These are registration and install numbers, not revenue or ROAS.
