Diagnostic table
| Signal | Check | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Creative testing governance | Confirm the test isolates one decision variable before treating a creative result as a reusable finding. | If the changed variable or result window is unclear, write a retest or hold note instead of declaring a winner. |
| 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. |
| Commerce and revenue quality | Connect campaign or funnel movement with commerce and payment context before judging quality. | If revenue quality or cash timing is missing, avoid turning source movement into a payback conclusion. |
| Creative angle test selection | Choose the next message angle by comparing audience pain, proof, novelty, risk, and landing-page support. | If the angle changes too many variables, rewrite it as a narrower test before launch. |
| Buyer belief gap | Map the hook, promise, proof, objection, and next step to the buyer belief the creative is supposed to move. | If the buyer belief is unsupported, recommend a message repair before changing spend. |
| Creative brief quality | Check whether the brief names the audience, problem, value proposition, evidence, constraint, and test hypothesis. | If the brief cannot name the belief or test variable, hold production and rewrite the brief. |
