Why we build it this way

Give each launch decision a recorded reason.

Changes to bids or creative are easier to assess when the starting conditions and intended result stay attached.

Compare the observed result with the starting point before adopting a new rule.

Design guidance from the IdealSync method. Adapt and validate it for your operation.

The next run should teach you something

Confirm the data. Give the response an owner. Do the work. Record the result. Improve the next run.
