How the audience is built

Every U.S. household in the Semcasting file is checked against the property and ownership rules above, then scored 0 to 100 on the weighted signals shown. Where ownership is not recorded, Semcasting's ownership-likelihood model adds households with a high probability of owning.

How it will be confirmed

Compare leads, booked jobs or sales by tier at equal spend, holding out a random 10% of each tier. Weights are refit against those results as campaign data comes in.

What it is not

Not a deed, permit, pool or job record for any household. Regional and seasonal rules are set by state today; storm and freeze event triggers are planned as weather feeds are joined.
