Improve the Accuracy of Census-Level Data
Fine-tune your household-level TV Measurement solutions with TVision's person-level Calibration Data
Tune Your Census Level Data With a Truth Set
TV viewing behavior varies greatly by individual. Without person-level insights, household data fails to represent who is actually watching TV. TVision’s calibration data helps measurement platforms understand what actually happens with households tune in.
Account for Viewing Preferences
Ensure your measurement reflects what individuals, not households watch.
Adjust for Biases in the Data
Understand assumptions and account for bias in combined models.
Build Unique Solutions
Drive innovation when your teams have the flexibility to lean into your own UVP.

Census + Panel is the Future of Measurement
Census data, by nature of its scale, has the potential to be a more accurate measure of TV viewing behaviors than solutions based on panel data alone. But likewise, census data on its own, without person-level insight, falls short of the detail that media buyers and sellers require of any future currency. The future of TV measurement will be based on a combination of census data calibrated for accuracy with panel data.
Here’s what makes TVision the calibration panel of choice for our industry:
PERSON-LEVEL DATA
Individuals in the same household often don’t watch the same content. Future currencies must reflect who is watching, and what ads they see.
SECOND-BY-SECOND INSIGHTS
With the increasing popularity of shorter ad lengths, second-by-second data is critical for reporting on ad delivery and engagement.
SINGLE-SOURCE VIEW OF LINEAR AND CTV
Audiences transition fluidly between linear and CTV. Measurement providers need a comprehensive view of how people consume media.
PASSIVE MEASUREMENT
As people move in and out of the room, passive measurement ensures an accurate understanding of who’s watching without the risk of human error.
TRANSPARENCY
If adjustments to panel data are made for statistical significance, they need to be clearly identified so they can be addressed as the data scales up.
FLEXIBILITY
We don’t believe in a one size fits all approach. Innovation will be more likely if companies can manipulate our data on their own.
How Important Is It for Data to be at the Person-Level?
This example shows what household-level data looks like for ESPN, compared to person-level viewing data. Household-level data reflects an outsized share of female viewers, and younger age groups. Calibrating with TVision’s data lets measurement providers adjust for differences in individual viewing preferences.

Choose the Output That Works For Your Team
We support measurement providers who are solving for a variety of use cases, have varying availability of data science resources, and have different timing needs.
Calculated Probabilities
This is the quickest option. TVision provides person-level probabilities for pre-identified scenarios such as demographic profiles, household type, time of day, and channel. Calculated probabilities overcome the challenges of building models from the ground up.
Sessionized Data
This is raw, sessionized data without any probabilities or assumptions built in. Sessionized data is flexible and transparent so your data engineering teams can develop their own probabilities and assumptions, and choose what is important for your solution.
Behavioral Projections
Get a nuanced understanding of second-by-second TV viewing behaviors that enable ad-level measurement. With this output, our panel informs your model so you can recognize and apply person-level viewing information to larger census data sets.
