TAG-Certified Ad Fraud and Brand Safety

Standards market (tag certified against fraud / brand safety / malvertising / transparency seals). The Kin Score Market layer reads each provider in its market: who it integrates with, how deep those integrations go, and where the market publishes its own structure. Methodology.

65providers measured
38 (58.5%)declare their own
21 (32.3%)covered by others only
2 (3.1%)distribution only (sell through, not integrations)
4 (6.2%)undeclared
4declare compatibility (report only, not weighted)
0in-market workflows shown (2 bridges)
Provisional. Provisional and unweighted: the Market layer is not part of the composite or agent readiness. Leader lists are read within a position, never as one ranking. A provider that declares nothing we can read is shown as undeclared, with no number: we never infer integrations.

Where this market publishes its structure

Own = declares at least one integration itself; covered = visible only because an aggregator, standards body, regulator or partner contract names it; distribution-only = listed only on cloud marketplaces it sells through, a channel reported beside, never counted as its own declared integrations; undeclared = nothing we can read, so no number; declares_compatibility = providers with a `compatible` shape vote, report only (kin, 2026-10-13): never counted as own, never in depth or position.

Taxonomy how this market maps onto apis.io

Derived 2026-10-23 from the 65 providers in this market we could resolve in the catalog. The percentage is the share of those providers carrying each one; it describes the market, not the tag or industry. Tag groups have no page of their own yet, so they are listed unlinked.

Workflows

No in-market workflows yet; bridges: 2 (2 not yet mapped to a capability). In-market workflows only: a step on the market provider's side maps to this market's business capabilities (BC-400.60, BC-400.50), and the partner is not a generic export/notify app. Other workflows are counted as bridges (including any whose steps do not resolve to a capability yet). Methodology.
