Diagnostic table
| Signal | Check | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Funnel math and scenario quality | Separate observed inputs from assumptions before treating a scenario as decision evidence. | If the model is sensitive to an assumed number, keep the recommendation as a scenario until the source is verified. |
| Operating failure modes | Separate a funnel leak from an operating leak, such as no follow-up, no promotion, weak delivery, or no owner. | If the operating owner or follow-up path is unclear, mark the recommendation as a process fix before a creative fix. |
| Message friction and belief gaps | Review whether the page builds enough emotional and logical belief before it asks for action. | If the buyer has not been given enough proof, process, or next-step clarity, do not recommend more traffic as the first fix. |
| Product-audience and page-intent fit | Check whether the product and page match the buyer intent created by the content. | If product-audience fit is unclear, recommend a page-intent review before moving or adding links. |
| Link placement and disclosure readiness | Review whether links appear where they help the reader decide and whether disclosure remains visible. | If placement or disclosure is weak, draft a link-quality fix before changing traffic or product selection. |
| Bridge-page and capture quality | Check whether the page path supports the affiliate decision instead of interrupting it. | If the bridge or capture path is unclear, keep the recommendation as a review task before adding automation or popups. |

FAQ
Can 10X make the change automatically?
No. Every recommendation stays reviewable and approval-gated. Automation executes only after a reviewer accepts the action because affiliate changes affect revenue, compliance, and partner relationships simultaneously.
What happens when a supporting input is missing?
The recommendation carries a caveat naming which input is absent. Follow-up cannot proceed until that input is collected or the team accepts the risk in writing.
What should the reviewer check for product-audience and page-intent fit?
Verify that the product price point, complexity, and audience match the intent signal created by the content. If the page attracts researchers but the offer targets ready buyers, fit is broken regardless of traffic volume.
What should the reviewer check for link placement and disclosure readiness?
Confirm that links appear at the reader's natural decision point and that disclosures remain visible without interaction. A link placed before the argument is complete reduces effective quality.
What should the reviewer check for bridge-page and capture quality?
Evaluate whether each step between content and merchant helps the purchase decision. Any element that interrupts or redirects the reader away from the affiliate action should be flagged.
How often should this review run?
Run it before any material change to link placement, page layout, capture flows, or traffic allocation. For stable pages, a quarterly audit catches drift from disclosure requirements.
