The headline metrics enable you to see:

• Estimated savings
• Identified installs
• Suspected overall fraud threat

Metrics are relevant for the time period selected in the date filter.

For the Estimated savings and Identified installs KPIs, there is a percentage value. This value shows how the presented KPI is in relation to the parallel date range before it. For example, this week compared to last week, or any days selected in the date range compared to the same number of days that came before: if it shows an X% increase in estimated savings, it means the previous parallel date range had X% fewer fraudulent installs.

Estimated savings

Estimated savings metrics:

• Displays the value of fraud identified and blocked in real-time by ProtectLITE and Validation Rules, to be settled by you with the ad networks. 
• Uses the formula: Estimated Savings = number of blocked installs X app average eCPI.
• Are not relevant for organic traffic.

For more details on how this amount is calculated read this FAQ.

Identified installs

Suspected overall fraud threat

The suspected overall threat level:

• Is an estimate of the fraud that would be blocked by Protect360, if you had a subscription.
• Gives you a good idea of whether you should upgrade to Protect360 to receive more advanced anti-fraud protection.
