Executive Snapshot

80–95%

Lower Query & Analytics Spend

Capacity-based pricing eliminates the per-query compute tax on ad-hoc analysis, AI workloads, and exploratory queries — the portion of your stack that scales with usage.

Constant-Time

Queries at Any Scale

Constant-time distributed search across petabytes in seconds—enabling data-driven bid decisions, real-time dashboards, and live experimentation.

1 Store

Replaces Your Entire Stack

One converged datastore replaces the warehouse, lake, stream processor, feature store, and queues—simplifying your stack and accelerating every team.

Where Publishers Leave Money on the Table

At a typical floor price of $2–10 per TB/query, a simple analysis across a petabyte-scale dataset costs $10,000 per query—extracting a massive compute tax from publishers trying to monetise their data.

Pain PointWhat Happens TodayBusiness Cost
Bid timeouts & under-filled impressions Columnar warehouses can’t answer within the auction window; you pre-compute coarse segments Lower fill, suppressed CPMs
Exploding CDP / warehouse bills Pay-per-query models punish ad-hoc analysis and AI use; teams ration queries Data questions go unasked, innovation stalls
Stale advertiser & editorial reporting Overnight ETL means dashboards lag hours or days behind Trust gaps and missed optimisation windows
Identity decay Weekly batch resolution across devices & partners Shrinking match rates, lost addressability
Slow product & paywall experiments Schema changes + pipeline rebuilds mean tests only work quarterly Sluggish subscription growth & UX improvement

How MinusOneDB Flips the Economics

MinusOneDB isn’t another point solution. It’s a foundation layer that collapses the warehouse, lake, stream processor, feature store, and queue into one rebuilt distributed-search datastore that is 100–1000x more efficient per query on a price/performance basis.

Legacy LimitationMinusOneDB CapabilityClean, Immediate Win
Pay-per-query bills that explode with every analyst & ML job Capacity-based flat pricing — marginal cost per query trends to fractions of a cent Democratise data use; let every trader, scientist & agent explore freely
Exploratory analytics on 100M+ rows runs in seconds-to-hours Constant-time distributed search — petabyte results in seconds Iterate on campaigns in flight; faster packaging & sales storytelling
Bid-time logic hard-wired — new data can’t shape header-bidding Fast decisioning with fresh ML scores or behavioural data Bring 1P data, context & model outputs into every auction
Weeks of ETL to surface new columns / metrics Schema-flexible ingest + real-time propagation; new fields queryable in minutes Beat the news-cycle with new audience products — zero rebuilds
Batch ingest with micro-batch lag & complex ETL True streaming ingest visible in ~2 seconds Real-time dashboards & on-the-fly cohort updates
Weekly ID graph refreshes stitched offline IdentityForge real-time synthesis across channels & partners Significant match-rate improvements; richer cohorts for buyers
Ad-hoc segmentation throttled by cost and compliance CleanForge in-place compute on governed data, capacity-priced Broad segmentation & experimentation without extra copies
Manual, slow model lifecycle ModelForge hyper-scale model evolution — score billions of events against thousands of models daily Always-on optimisation of yield, paywall, and engagement

What That Unlocks

Capabilities that pay-per-query stacks can’t economically support — because at capacity pricing, every query runs at the margin.

Build & Sell Live Behavioural Segments

Build, maintain, and sell user segments based on behaviour that refresh every ~2 seconds — package long-tail audiences (“Climate + Sports today + 3 min engaged”) as a continuously updated data product.

Adaptive Floor & Deal Logic

Query rolling win-rate/CPM and adjust floors before sending the bid for expected CPM uplift.

Live Identity Resolution

IdentityForge merges ID-graph updates seconds after they land—higher match-rate, more qualified bids.

Instant Experimentation

Launch or kill segments and model variants immediately; no nightly rebuild.

Four Stores That Collapse Your Stack

These are not out-of-the-box products, but implementations we help build into your architecture on reasonable costs and timelines.

Distributed-search primary datastore

Constant-time queries across petabytes. True streaming ingest visible in ~2 seconds. Any dataset rebuilt from object store in ~3 hours.

REST API + JS SDK • SOC 2 certified

ModelForge

Test hundreds of pricing, targeting, and optimisation models simultaneously. Score billions of impressions and user interactions against thousands of models daily. Fixed-cost—no per-query pricing.

IdentityForge

Continuously updated visitor profiles across sessions and devices. Probabilistic matching connects anonymous behaviour with known users. Privacy-resilient design adapts to regulatory changes and browser restrictions.

CleanForge

Hardware-isolated workspaces for publisher-advertiser data sharing. Federated queries span every partner while raw rows stay home. Capacity pricing kills the per-query tax and rewards exploration.
