M Motionworks Population Intelligence

Independent measurement, on the record.

Motionworks operates independently of OOH plant operators and buying platforms. Independence is a structural condition for the measurement layer to function as currency — not a marketing claim.

Independence

A measurement layer is only useful if its incentives can be trusted.

Motionworks is not owned, controlled, or funded by an OOH operator. Motionworks has no financial relationship with OOH buying platforms. That isn’t something we say in a deck — it’s a structural constraint on how we are owned, financed, and run, and it’s the structural condition that makes the rest of the methodology defensible.

01
No operator ownership
No equity holders that benefit from skewed inventory measurement.
02
No buying-platform relationships
No fees or commissions on media bought against our measurement.
03
Methodology audited independently
Open to third-party review. Bureaus and regulators can audit any metric chain end-to-end.
04
Every change versioned
Methodology versions, scope changes, and commercial relationships are disclosed in the public changelog.
The three-layer Geopath architecture

What stays the same. What changes. What’s new.

Geopath remains the currency. Delivery becomes documented. Two new layers sit on top of currency, end-to-end auditable, with the same provenance fields on every value.

Layer 01
Currency

Geopath — audited audience estimates.

The forward-planning standard. Governs how OOH is planned, priced, and transacted. Stays put — Motionworks does not replace currency, it builds on top of it.

Layer 02
Delivered

Viewcast Profiles — historical actuals.

Continuous monthly impressions for every unit, back to 2019. Seasonal granularity per face. Turns delivery from a quarterly assertion into a documented record with confidence intervals.

Layer 03
Campaign

Viewcast Select — observed reach and frequency.

Cross-format, deduplicated, on the executed schedule. Measures the campaign as it actually ran — same provenance fields as Profiles and Currency.

What stays the same: Geopath remains the currency.
What changes: delivery becomes documented.
What’s new: two layers on top of currency.
The receipts framework

Every Motionworks metric carries five fields.

A number that can’t be audited isn’t currency. The receipts framework is the structural way we make every metric defensible — for bureaus, for auditors, for the planner who has to explain the column to the brand.

Source
Where the data came from — device panel, viewshed geometry, place visit log, traffic counter.
Methodology version
Which model produced the number, and which version. Tracked in the changelog.
Confidence interval
Margin of error at a stated confidence level (typically +/- X% at 95%).
Sample size
How many observations underpin the metric — the denominator behind the headline.
Freshness
When the underlying data was last refreshed. So no one ships a quarter-old number by accident.
Applied to content measurement

OOH Content Measurement. Same receipts.

When Motionworks measures what OOH venue audiences were watching — connecting physical venue audiences to TV and streaming schedules — the same provenance standards apply. Every content exposure estimate carries source, methodology version, confidence interval, and sample size. No carve-outs for cross-media work.

Live example: Taylor vs. Serrano III (VideoAmp / Netflix)

266 venue viewing conditions across 6 time zones. Bars showing the fight retained 2× the audience of general commercial venues at the same hour. Pacific Time venues were still at peak viewership 3 hours after Eastern Time audiences had left. Every figure carries a receipt.
