   • audit-google — Conversion tracking, wasted spend, structure, keywords, ads, settings (G01-G74)
   • audit-meta — Pixel/CAPI health, creative fatigue, structure, audience (M01-M46)
   • audit-creative — LinkedIn, TikTok, Microsoft creative checks + cross-platform synthesis
   • audit-tracking — LinkedIn, TikTok, Microsoft tracking + cross-platform tracking health
   • audit-budget — LinkedIn, TikTok, Microsoft budget/bidding + cross-platform allocation
   • audit-compliance — All-platform compliance, settings, performance benchmarks
5. Score — calculate per-platform and aggregate Ads Health Score (0-100)
6. Report — generate prioritized action plan with Quick Wins
