paid media trust kernel

Ad spend should have a kill switch.

BidGuard is the first Astronaut product: a safety cockpit over existing ad accounts. It connects provider accounts, discovers ad entities, groups campaigns into Buckets, runs deterministic guardrails, and keeps live writes behind approval and audit gates.

Alpha runtime

the case

01 problem

Paid media teams are asked to trust dashboards, scripts, and platform automation even when data is stale or budgets are fragile.

02 approach

BidGuard keeps the workflow boring on purpose: connect accounts, prove freshness, map campaigns into Buckets, run rules in recommend mode, and require auditable approval before live actions.

03 outcome

Operators get money-protected evidence, not vague optimization claims. Every incident can be explained, reviewed, and reversed.

proof state

Google and Meta read-sync paths exist behind provider credentials.

Buckets, rules, evidence, action history, and admin surfaces exist in the current alpha.

Production Google/Meta mutation remains blocked until sandbox proof and explicit approval gates are ready.
