Diagnostic table
| Signal | Check | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Landing page and post-click cost context | Connect ad cost and creative promise to the post-click path before blaming the campaign. | If the post-click path is the likely constraint, draft the page or offer review before changing campaign settings. |
| Creative message diagnosis | Map the creative message to the buyer belief or objection it is supposed to move. | If the message does not match the audience or landing context, recommend the next message test before changing spend. |
| Conversion quality and measurement confidence | Separate decision-driving conversions from diagnostic events and caveated attribution signals. | If conversion quality is unknown, keep the recommendation caveated until the downstream source is reviewed. |
| Store setup completeness | Review whether the technical setup, app stack, product import, and owner notes are ready for a traffic-facing store. | If setup is incomplete, hold launch and assign the specific store-build gap. |
| Product page and offer path | Check whether product page design, offer framing, cart drawer, and upsells form one coherent buyer path. | If the page and offer path do not agree, recommend a store/offer review before traffic changes. |
| Revenue-path readiness | Connect store setup to order value, checkout friction, and post-click conversion context before judging growth readiness. | If revenue-path evidence is missing, keep the recommendation caveated. |
