New Features
Ranked Mode for Main Dashboard
Sincera's main dashboard now has "ranked" mode, which allows you to toggle most of the metrics to display only the top 10,000 advertising-supported domains, globally.
This will cause some positions and rankings to move around, as some systems and partners, such as LiveRamp, are heavily clustered around the biggest publishers vs. long tail support.
User Initiated Scans
Users can now request an updated scan from a Publisher directly from their page. This will immediately trigger a scan of 25 URLs from that publisher, with all Sincera modules enabled.
Beta CDP Detection (Enterprise)
For Enterprise clients, Sincera now supports beta detection of CDP features and companies.
This needs to be manually provisioned to your account, so please reach out in your slack channel or over email. It will roll out broadly across the application in the next couple of weeks.
Retail Media Detection (Enterprise)
Enterprise clients can now see if a publisher domain is enabled for Retail Media via the retail_media column on the publishers table.

Additional ad server detection logic for Yahoo JAC, Yahoo DHARMA, Outbrain, Taboola, AMP ad - applies to slot, ad density, and ad unit coordinates features.
