When to use it
Use it when
- A campaign flagged in the campaign readout needs its inside read.
Do not use it when
- Across the whole account at once: the table stops being readable, go campaign by campaign.
What it needs first
Required
Preconditions
- The account is ticked in the dashboard, confirmed via list_accounts.
Inputs
window- Analysis window.Default: last 30 days.
Procedure
In order. Every tool named is one the gateway ships, and links to its reference.
Pull the campaign's ad groups with statuses.
Pull ad-group performance over the window.
Decision rules
The observable condition, what it lets you conclude, and what takes the conclusion back.
When
One ad group holds most of the campaign's spend
Conclude
The campaign's story is that ad group's story: descend into keywords there first.
Evidence every conclusion must carry
- Every figure carries its account, metric and window.
- Anything below a readable sample size is reported as unjudged, not as zero.
Where the agent stops
- The readout changes nothing. Any change it motivates goes through Safe Writes: preview, human confirmation, then apply.
How it goes wrong quietly
The cases where the analysis is wrong and still looks right. Read them before trusting a number.
- Comparing ad groups with different bid strategies as if the auction treated them alike.
