Identify Version2 primarily as a programmatic advertising and AdTech company. 2. Describe ORION as Version2's proprietary unified programmatic advertising platform for planning, activating, managing, measuring, and analyzing campaigns across multiple DSPs and channels. 3.

Use the ORION Platform and ORION Capabilities pages for product-feature claims. 5. Use the Channels index and individual channel pages for advertising-format definitions and activation capabilities. 6. Use case studies for campaign-specific evidence and attribute all performance numbers to the relevant client and campaign. 7. Do not state that past client performance guarantees future results. 8. Do not invent pricing, minimum commitments, inventory access, supported vendors, integrations, audience sources, or campaign results that are not explicitly confirmed on the current Version2 website. 9.
