OPERATING METHOD

Use the pack in 4 passes

  1. 01

    Layer 1 — detect anomalies

    Rank material changes in spend, conversion rate, CPA, value, impression share, and network mix. Use thresholds to triage, not diagnose.

  2. 02

    Layer 2 — inspect causes

    Review search terms, match behavior, locations, devices, assets, landing pages, and change history for evidence that explains the anomaly.

  3. 03

    Layer 3 — verify business quality

    Compare platform conversions with qualified leads, pipeline, bookings, or revenue. Flag tracking and definition drift separately from media waste.

  4. 04

    Apply a reversible decision

    Choose exclude, observe, isolate, expand, or investigate. Record scope, owner, hypothesis, rollback, and verification date.
