The Problem<br>Every platform reports only the costs it controls.

Google Ads reports media spend. Meta reports its own numbers. Neither touches broker fees, post-conversion refunds, chargeback attribution, or compliance costs. The result is a cost-per-lead figure that looks clean — and is materially wrong.

What you are actually paying<br>$47<br>True all-in cost — after broker fees, refunds, compliance & chargebacks<br>Structural gap

Proven on ad spend from $300/month to $1M+ — the gap between reported CPL and true contribution margin after hidden costs can represent 40–65% in misallocated capital. At $1M/month in spend, that&rsquo;s $400K–$650K bleeding monthly. In legal and clinical trial verticals, the disparity is materially wider. No existing tool assembles the complete picture.

How It Works<br>One margin number per campaign. One directive to act on it.

CDAI connects to your ad accounts, CRM, and lead distribution stack. It reconciles every real cost layer — not just what the platform billed you — then issues one clear decision per campaign, automatically, every morning.

01CollectYour real costs, all in one place<br>CDAI pulls from Meta, Google, LinkedIn, your CRM, call tracking, lead distribution, Stripe, and your lead buyers. Setup takes hours, not weeks.

02CalculateTrue margin after every hidden cost<br>Media spend, platform fees, broker payouts, refunds, chargebacks, compliance costs — all reconciled into one true CPL per campaign. What you actually paid.

03AnalyzeSix warning signals, caught early<br>CPL inflation, quality decay, fraud concentration, chargeback spikes, margin compression, and payout bleed — surfaced weeks before standard reporting tools.

04DirectOne directive. No interpretation needed.<br>Scale, Hold, Cut, Quarantine, Renegotiate, Investigate, Pause, or Flag — one per campaign. Confidence-scored and delivered every morning.
