  • Publication number: 20240364764
    Abstract: In one example, a computing system is described. The computing system is configured to perform a set of acts that includes obtaining, from a DEP, a non-redacted unique viewer count for a set of digital content exposures. The set of acts also includes obtaining, from the DEP via the protected cloud environment, a redacted exposures count for the set of digital content exposures. In addition, the set of acts includes determining, using an inverted reach curve and the non-redacted unique viewer count, an initial exposures value for the set of digital content exposures. The set of acts also includes scaling the initial exposures value using the redacted exposures count to obtain a final exposures value. Further, the set of acts includes determining, using a reach curve and the final exposures value, a final unique viewer count for the set of digital content exposures, and outputting the final unique viewer count.
