Test judgment. Practice operations.
Two focused tools built around real AdOps work.
A hands-on ad operations (AdOps) training platform
AdOps Flight Lab is a free, practical way to build ad operations skills. The Campaign Simulator recreates realistic programmatic and ad-serving failures across a 30-day flight — then asks you to find them the way a senior operator would: inspect the evidence, form a diagnosis, and make the right production change. No issue is highlighted for you.
Diagnose real failures
Work through 30+ incidents modelled on real support tickets — deal ID mismatches, VAST and video errors, viewability, invalid traffic, header bidding, pacing and reporting discrepancies.
Investigate, don't guess
Read the client ticket, inspect campaigns, auctions, deals, creatives and trackers, then intervene with the correct diagnosis and action. Every run is scored on how early, safely and precisely you resolve it.
Built for the job
Useful for AdOps interview preparation, publisher and agency teams sharpening troubleshooting, and hiring managers who want to see how candidates reason about evidence.
Ad operations questions, answered
What is AdOps Flight Lab?
AdOps Flight Lab (adopscore.com) is a free, hands-on ad operations training platform. Its Campaign Simulator recreates realistic programmatic and ad-serving failures across a 30-day campaign flight, so you can practice inspecting evidence and diagnosing the root cause the way a senior AdOps operator would.
What is ad operations (AdOps)?
Ad operations, or AdOps, is the practice of setting up, trafficking, monitoring and troubleshooting digital advertising campaigns across ad servers, SSPs and DSPs. AdOps teams keep delivery on pace, protect measurement accuracy, and resolve issues like deal ID mismatches, VAST errors, viewability shortfalls, invalid traffic and reporting discrepancies.
How can I practice AdOps troubleshooting?
Use the AdOps Flight Lab Campaign Simulator: build a deal from a client ticket, launch a 30-day flight, then watch delivery and measurement signals for problems. Nothing is highlighted for you — you inspect the campaigns, auctions, deals, creatives and trackers yourself, then intervene with the correct diagnosis and production action.
What does the AdOps Campaign Simulator cover?
The simulator includes 30+ realistic incidents drawn from common support patterns: deal ID and currency mismatches, VAST wrapper, VPAID and media faults, priority and frequency conflicts, header bidding handoff, ads.txt and SupplyChain authorization, viewability, invalid traffic (IVT), attribution and reporting-window discrepancies, blocked impression pixels, and disapproved creatives.
Who is AdOps Flight Lab for?
It is built for anyone working in or breaking into ad operations — candidates preparing for AdOps interviews, publisher and agency AdOps teams sharpening troubleshooting skills, and hiring managers who want to see how people investigate real evidence rather than recite definitions.
Is AdOps Flight Lab free to use?
Yes. The Campaign Simulator is free to use in the browser with no sign-up required. An Assessment Builder for role-based hiring tests is coming soon.
