The Ad Transparency analyzer is temporarily offline. We owe you an explanation.
Adworth's positioning is that consent and ad activity should be cryptographically verifiable instead of self-reported. We hold ourselves to the same standard. When we discovered our own analyzer was returning misleading results, the only honest answer was to take it down until it does what it claims.
The adworth-ads Worker calls a DataForSEO endpoint that returns Google’s organic search results — the standard blue links — not advertising data. Those results were being labeled “ADS” in our dashboard. Every “Privacy Risk” and “Transparency Score” produced for that data was scoring content that was never an ad in the first place.
We’re evaluating real ad-data endpoints (Google Ads Transparency Center has no public API; alternative paid ad endpoints exist) and rewriting the Worker against whichever delivers truthful results at scale. When the analyzer returns, it will analyze actual ad data. We’ll publish a deploy log entry to adworth-deploy-integrity documenting the change.
An honest 404 is worth more than a confident wrong answer.
Adworth’s thesis is that ad ecosystems run on honor-system claims that should instead be cryptographically verifiable. If our own ad transparency tool fails that test, we cannot leave it serving the public. Pulling it offline costs us a visible feature on the homepage. Leaving it up would cost the trust that the whole company depends on. That math is easy.
