Designing for Uncertainty: The New 2026 AI Product Skill cover

Overview

AI UX is not UI polish. This executive briefing deck shows how confidence calibration, evidence trace, compare answers, and user control create trustworthy AI products.

Case Study

The Challenge

OOH has suffered from a measurement disadvantage. Without click-through rates, OOH is systematically undervalued in budget allocation models.

The Solution

Built the five-approach OOH ROI framework and mapped programmatic DOOH capabilities that enable audience targeting and digital plan integration.

Key Results

5 measurement approaches across brand and performance objectives

ROI Framework

70% consumer recall for OOH advertising, 3x versus digital-only campaigns

Brand Recall

Real-time buying, audience targeting, and digital plan integration now standard

Programmatic

Evidence-based case for OOH inclusion across brand and performance budgets
