3## Procedure
4 
51. Read the main `ads` operating contract and thinking framework.
62. Collect objective, conversion definition, account and campaign age, geography,
7   date window, timezone, currency, spend, targets, and available data sources.
83. Read `ads/references/youtube-audit.md` (resolve it from the plugin root, the directory that holds `ads/` and `skills/`, or from the skills directory in a standalone install) and only the relevant shared measurement,
9   benchmark, creative, automation, policy, and scoring references.
104. Normalize inputs and retain lineage to each export, screenshot, API result, or
11   manual value.
125. Evaluate applicable controls covering conversion and engagement measurement, campaign type, channel controls, formats, hooks, audiences, brand safety, bidding, and reporting.
136. Separate observations, diagnoses, recommendations, opportunities, and proposed
14   mutations. Mark uncertainty and contradictions.
157. Return schema-valid findings to the conductor. Do not calculate final scores in
16   the prompt or write a shared result file.
178. Render a platform report only from the validated JSON run bundle.

22- Do not apply a benchmark without checking objective, geography, methodology,
23  sample size, conversion lag, and account maturity.
24- Keep optional, beta, premium, immutable, unavailable, and ineligible features
25  unscored.
