AI dimensions

Calibrated. Comparable. Defensible.

Each dimension is its own engineered prompt running through specialised models. Outputs are normalised against category benchmarks so a 4.2 in beverage means the same as a 4.2 in fintech.

01
Core Message & Clarity

Will a viewer understand what's being sold and why it matters within the first three seconds?

02
Originality

How distinctive is the creative against category conventions and competitor templates?

03
Emotional Resonance & Persuasiveness

Does it move the viewer — and does that emotion translate into intent to act?

04
Visual Design & Hook

Is the opening frame strong enough to stop the scroll? Does composition support comprehension?

05
Brand Asset Distinctiveness

Are colours, logo, voice and characters unmistakably yours — even with the brand name removed?

06
Celebrity / Character Elements

When endorsers or mascots are present, do they reinforce or compete with the brand message?

07
Overall Effectiveness

A weighted composite score predicting how the ad will perform against its stated objective.

08
Brand Recognition

How quickly and confidently can a viewer identify the advertiser without seeing the logo?

09
Cognitive Neuro Balance

Right-brain emotional cues versus left-brain rational cues — calibrated to the category and objective.

10
Platform Delivery & Visibility

Is the format optimised for the channel? Aspect ratio, sound-off legibility, captioning, pacing.

11
Goal Alignment & Strategic Intent

Awareness, consideration, conversion — is the creative actually built for the funnel stage you booked it for?

12
Predictive CTR & Competitor Score

Estimated click-through performance and a head-to-head comparison against category benchmarks.

13
Compliance & Brand Safety

Regulatory red-flags, platform policy risk, and brand-safety issues — caught before launch, not after.

The 8 audience-rated dimensions

When you ask real people, these are the questions we ask.

Every audience study covers eight standard human-rated dimensions — paired with up to four custom screener questions of your own.

01
Emotion

What the creative makes them feel — measured against a curated emotion taxonomy, not just positive/negative sentiment.

02
Understanding

Does the message land in three seconds? Open-text comprehension check plus structured rating.

03
Shareability

Would they actually pass it on? A predictor of organic lift on social-first creative.

04
Relevance

Is this for them, right now? Captures category fit and life-stage alignment.

05
Brand Perception

How the brand registers, post-view. Includes attribution check (did they remember whose ad it was?).

06
Trust

Credibility of message and source — particularly important for finance, health, and political categories.

07
Call to Action

Likelihood of acting on the prompt — purchase, sign-up, donate, vote, learn more.

08
Overall Rating

The gut headline. Used as the audience-side anchor when computing the Mixed Score against the AI prediction.

The report

Reports that read like a to-do list, not a spreadsheet.

Your verdict comes first. Every scoring dimension expands in place to show what's working and what to change — with the weakest dimension already open, so the fastest way to a better ad is the first thing you see. Carousel reports add a slide filmstrip with per-card score badges and an explained score make-up.

  • Verdict first — then one concertina row per dimension: chip, name, colour-coded score bar, score out of 5
  • The lowest-scoring dimension opens by default
  • What's Working and Recommendations inside every row
  • Full-length PDF export, with a dedicated format for carousels

Strong creative

Predicted to outperform category benchmark by ~18%. Recommended primary placement: Instagram Reels & TikTok In-Feed.

Greenlight to launch
01Core Message & Clarity4.6/5
What's working
The offer is readable in the first frame and the product is unmistakable — a viewer knows what is being sold within three seconds.
Recommendation
Protect this in every variant: keep the headline and product shot in the opening frame when you resize for Story or Landscape.
02Originality3.9/5
What's working
The colour treatment breaks category convention and the pacing feels fresh.
Recommendation
The layout still echoes competitor templates — try an unexpected opening frame or a bolder crop on the hero shot.
03Emotional Resonance4.4/5
What's working
The reveal lands a genuine moment, and the emotion translates into intent to act.
Recommendation
Hold the reaction shot half a second longer before the cut to the end card.
04Brand Distinctiveness4.1/5
What's working
Palette and typography are ownable even with the logo removed.
Recommendation
Bring the mascot in earlier so brand recall starts before the end card, not on it.
05Cognitive Neuro Balance3.4/5
What's working
Strong right-brain emotional cues throughout — the ad feels rather than argues.
Recommendation
Almost no rational proof point. Add one concrete benefit line (price, speed, guarantee) before the CTA to balance the read.
06Predictive CTR Lift4.5/5
What's working
Predicted to beat the category baseline by ~18% on Reels and TikTok In-Feed.
Recommendation
A stronger verb in the CTA could add a few more points — "Get" beats "Learn more".

Weakest dimension opens first — the fastest route to a better ad is the first thing you see.

Preview Suggested Changes

A score tells you what's wrong. AdTest fixes it. Preview Suggested Changes applies the report's own recommendations to your actual ad and shows you the edited versions at real feed size — headline, imagery and caption included. Keep the changes you like, add your own instructions, or redesign the ad into a new format. Then retest the improved version and watch the score move. Test, improve, retest: the whole loop in one place.

  • Edited versions at real feed size — pick which changes to apply
  • Your own edit instructions — 1 credit per edit
  • Redesign as Original, Square, Portrait, Story or Landscape (2 credits)
  • Retest the improved ad — a normal 1-credit test — and watch the score move

Carousel testing

Carousel ads, scored as one story.

Upload the full deck. AdTest scores the carousel as a single ad — the way your audience actually experiences it — with card-by-card diagnostics showing where the story hooks and where it loses the swipe. Available in AI-Only and Audience testing (one carousel, one fee, every card swiped), with a full-length PDF report built for the format.

  • Card 1 / Hook is scored alone — the first card decides the swipe
  • Momentum, Flow, Consistency and Branding track the middle of the deck
  • Completion Payoff asks whether the last card lands the message
  • Audience testing: one carousel, one fee — respondents swipe every card
