Guidelines for Transactability for the 2025–2026 Broadcast Season
The JIC has released an updated version of its “Guidelines for Transactability,” reflecting the growing importance of methodological transparency in a multi-currency reality. The paper outlines why understanding how a measurement number is constructed is now essential to ensuring trust, comparability, and responsible investment.
It introduces the beginning of a standardized framework for evaluating measurement providers across core domains such as data sourcing, personification modeling, identity resolution, and cross-platform deduplication. As AI becomes more deeply embedded in planning and optimization workflows, flawed or opaque input data poses a greater threat. The JIC emphasizes that transparency is no longer optional—it is foundational to protecting investments and sustaining innovation.
