About

Prediction shouldn't be a privilege of the biggest sites.

Every analytics tool can tell you a channel sent 4,000 visits. Almost none can tell you whether any of those people were going to buy — and the one that tries reserves the answer for properties with a thousand converters a month.

Why we exist

Counting is the wrong instrument.

Conversions are rare events. Rare events are a poor unit of measurement at small sample sizes, which is why judging a channel by counting its conversions works at enormous scale and nowhere else. Most businesses spend months arguing about numbers that were never statistically capable of settling the argument.

But the sessions themselves are not rare. A channel that produced one sale still produced four hundred visits, and each of those visits was hours of behaviour: what people read, how long they actually attended to it, where they went next, where they stopped. Counting throws essentially all of that away.

Wardly exists to use it. Every session gets scored against the pattern your converting sessions actually show, so traffic quality becomes something you can read in days rather than something you infer from a conversion count months later.

How the scoring works

First-party only

Why we don't offer the easy version.

It would be commercially easier to offer a vendor-domain script tag alongside the deployed version. We do not, for two reasons.

The first is that scoring is only as good as the behaviour it observes, and a third-party tag loses a share of that behaviour to domain-level blocking — unevenly, and most heavily among exactly the technical and privacy-aware audiences some businesses care about most. A model trained on biased collection learns a biased pattern.

The second is that offering both would mean half our clients quietly get worse data while reading the same claims on this website. There is one way to install Wardly, and we do it.

What first-party means here

The team

Small, and deliberately so.

Wardly is a small team. The person you speak to on the first call is the person who deploys your tracking, defines the conversion event with you, and sits with your team while they learn to read the scores. There is no sales layer in between and no handoff.

For a product whose value depends on being configured correctly, that is the offer rather than a limitation. It does mean we take a limited number of deployments at a time, and it means we say no to work that is not a fit — usually on the first call, which is faster for everyone.

If you can't tell which traffic was worth buying, start there.

Thirty minutes on your site, your traffic and the one conversion worth scoring against.
