The operating problem

Where the process breaks.

Performance data is fragmented across ad platforms and analytics, so teams notice inefficient spend after a reporting cycle. Fully autonomous budget changes can move quickly but should not cross material thresholds without accountable review.

Governed execution

How the work runs.

Order remains explicit from trigger to decision. Every step runs inside the tools, data scope, and policy assigned to this workflow.

  1. 01Trigger

    Threshold is crossed

    A scheduled monitor detects a material performance change against the configured baseline.

  2. 02Agent

    Channel data is reconciled

    The agent normalizes spend, conversion, attribution, and campaign context across approved sources.

  3. 03Agent

    Budget action is proposed

    The workflow explains the anomaly, affected segments, confidence, and bounded reallocation.

  4. 04Human

    Marketer reviews material change

    A marketer approves any material reallocation as the terminal workflow step.

Decision boundary

Human approval is the boundary.

The approval node is terminal today. A post-approval send or write happens only through a separate manual or newly triggered continuation.

Required decision

A performance marketer approves every material reallocation; an Ads API write requires a separate manual or newly triggered continuation.

Approval recorded

Actor, decision, edits, and timestamp join the receipt.

Separate continuation

External write

Nothing resumes silently after the human decision.

Proof of execution

Execution receipt.

The output is not just a result. It carries the trigger, evidence, proposed actions, decision, and final workflow state.

Policy before autonomy

Guardrails for this run.

  • Absolute and percentage spend limits are configured per workflow.

  • Material reallocations require a named approver and a separate continuation.

  • Every recommendation retains the source metrics and evaluation window.

  • Tool credentials can be restricted to named accounts and actions.

External evidence
