The status quo

You're reallocating budgets based on gut feel and stale data

Your CFO wants to cut 15% from Meta. Your CMO wants to double down on TikTok. Your agency says everything is working great. Nobody can tell you what would actually happen if you moved $50K between channels — because nobody has a model that answers that question in real time and understands the interaction of channels and their halo effects.

The result?

30%+

of ad budgets are misallocated — money left on the table every month

Weeks

spent building budget scenarios in spreadsheets that are outdated by the time they're done

0 confidence

in whether a budget shift will actually improve ROAS or just redistribute waste

The paradigm shift

What if you could see the outcome of every budget decision before you make it?

Prescient AI's optimization tool uses your daily-updating MMM to forecast the impact on your core KPIs of any budget scenario — not just revenue. Set your total spend, choose a timeframe, select the campaigns — and see exactly what happens to ROAS, CAC, and more. Run unlimited scenarios in seconds. No guesswork. No waiting. Just answers.

Capabilities

Budget decisions, backed by math

  • Fixed-budget or flexible-budget scenario modes
  • Configurable timeframes — 7, 14, 28, or custom day windows

Get the optimal allocation — down to the campaign level

Prescient doesn't just tell you to "spend more on Meta." It shows exactly how much to move, to which campaigns, and what the expected ROAS shift is for each change. You get a concrete reallocation plan, not a vague recommendation.

  • Channel-level and campaign-level budget recommendations
  • Lock campaigns at current spend and optimize around them
  • See the dollar-level shift and expected revenue delta for each move
  • Automatic tracking in-platform to see how budget shifts impact overall performance

Compare scenarios side-by-side to find the right tradeoff

"What if we cut 20% across the board?" "What if we go all-in on Meta and TikTok?" "What if we hold everything flat?" Run as many scenarios as you want and compare the forecasted outcomes so your team can make the decision together — with data, not debate.

  • Unlimited scenarios — create, name, and save for your team
  • See "no change" baseline alongside optimized and custom scenarios
  • Share scenarios with stakeholders — stop debating, start deciding

Forecasts inherit accuracy from your daily-updating MMM — not a static quarterly model

Forecasts you can actually trust

Every optimization scenario is powered by the same validated MMM that updates daily with your real data. This isn't a rule-of-thumb calculator — it's an econometric forecast calibrated against incrementality tests and out-of-sample validation. The model gets smarter every day.

  • Forecasts backed by a daily-updating, validated MMM
  • Confidence intervals on every forecast so you know the range of outcomes
  • Accounts for saturation curves, seasonality, and halo effects

FAQ

Common questions

You set the total budget, choose a forecasting timeframe (7, 14, 28 days or custom), and select which campaigns to include. Prescient's model — powered by your daily-updating MMM — simulates how different allocations would affect revenue and ROAS. You see the optimal allocation alongside your current spend and any custom scenarios you create.

Forecast accuracy depends on the underlying MMM, which Prescient validates against incrementality tests and out-of-sample data. Brands using Prescient typically see 90%+ revenue prediction accuracy. The optimization tool provides confidence intervals so you know the range of likely outcomes.

Yes. Create unlimited scenarios with different budget levels, timeframes, and campaign selections. Each scenario is named and saved so your team can review them together. You can compare any scenario against the "no change" baseline to see the projected impact.

Both. You can optimize at the channel level (e.g., shift budget from Meta to TikTok) or drill down to individual campaigns within a channel. You can also lock specific campaigns at their current spend level and optimize the remaining budget around them.

Since the underlying model updates daily, your scenarios always reflect the latest data. Most teams run new scenarios weekly during active budget planning or whenever they're considering a significant spend change. There's no limit on how many scenarios you can create.

Yes — the optimization tool is powered by Prescient's media mix model. The MMM measures incremental impact and the optimization tool uses those measurements to forecast outcomes of different budget scenarios. They work together as part of the Prescient platform.
