Overview
These formulas are based on the Daily Monitoring used by traffic team (branding). Most of these has been standardized for a global usage due to some campaigns runs in different AdServers.

Ideal Delivery
- This metric takes the amount of "units" (imps, clicks, etc) that were purchased that were still not delivered and divides it by the remaining days of the campaign.
- The resulting value is the ideal spread of units on the remaining days to fulfill the budget in the remaining time.
- It is calculated based on type of campaign. The reason of adding one, it's because we need to have a complete data belonging to the campaign duration, when a campaign is implemented in RMX, it does not run immediately, a few hours pass till the same begins running and some more till we get tracking. So if we add one at the end of the formula, we'll be getting metrics for the same day on which the campaign was implemented, in fact it's like recovering a missing day.
