Accuracy and Limitations
Use delivered viewable impressions when that is the buying basis. CPM alone does not measure clicks, conversions, reach quality, fraud, or incremental return.
Keep units consistent, use measurements that represent the actual situation, retain full precision during the calculation, and round only the final answer. Professional decisions may require current official rules, field measurements, laboratory methods, or specialist review.
