We've just completed an update to the Cadent Viewer Graph. This enhancement improves the graph’s overall accuracy and addressability through the inclusion of some new data sources; however, you should not expect to see any dramatic changes with the Audience Manager outputs sent to SegmentHub or other destinations. 

Following are a few key points to call out:

The graph updates now show a small re-assignment of IDs based on new data sources and latest graph models or truth sets. For both device ID and household assignments, the expected re-assignment is typically 9-10%, which is not out of line with a standard week-over-week churn rate we may see with the graph. ~90% of IDs will remain in this graph update with the same household assignments.

: Total devices in the graph will also see a similar increase in volume, including MAIDs and CTV IDs, which are up from ~1.2 Billion to ~1.7 Billion. This volume is expected to similarly reduce over time, landing somewhere in the middle of the range.

: Activation Graph is a slimmed down version of the graph leveraged primarily for FreeWheel deployments to alleviate downstream data processing issues in FreeWheel. The updated Activation Graph will continue to maintain the same ~500 million devices cap and will see similar numbers with regards to graph churn / agreement (~10% churn).
