What useful output looks like
A reviewable result should make the scope visible and distinguish four things:- The metrics that changed.
- The entities that contributed most to the change.
- Explanations supported by the available data.
- Questions that need more context or another source.
Verify the result
- Match the date window and comparison to your request.
- Check that each metric comes from the expected connected account.
- Look for attribution, currency, and freshness notes.
- Open the cited campaigns, creatives, or products before accepting a recommendation.
- Treat a correlation as a hypothesis unless the evidence supports a causal explanation.
You are done when you can state what changed, where it changed, and what you will investigate next without relying on an unsupported conclusion.
