| Checkpoint | What to inspect | Decision signal |
|---|---|---|
| Audience fit | Check role, account type, region, and buying-stage match before judging creative performance. | If delivery misses the intended role or account type, creative data is not reliable. |
| Offer depth | Match the offer to audience readiness instead of pushing cold traffic into high-commitment forms. | If the offer asks for too much too early, lead quality will usually weaken. |
| Lead form context | Verify that CRM records preserve the ad, offer, audience, and qualification context. | If context is missing, CRM records cannot explain why the person converted. |
| Sales acceptance | Compare platform lead volume with accepted leads, rejected leads, and follow-up completion. | If accepted leads lag behind submissions, the issue is quality or handling. |

|---|---|---|
| Source or lifecycle data is incomplete | Fix measurement before changing spend | The team cannot judge performance if the record is unreliable. |
