Methodology

For every Outbraincreative with enough observed activity to clear the noise floor, we compare that day's observed placement frequency to the creative's own trailing-7-day mean. A spike is a day at or above 2× that baseline (or a brand-new creative with no prior-week activity); a fade is a day at or below 0.4× of a non-trivial baseline. The table reports the relative multiple, never absolute frequency. Observed from public-web ad placements — no spend, CTR, conversion or personal data. See the data dictionary.
