| summary | 付费广告账户审计/ROAS评分 |
| description | Use when auditing a paid ad account for incremental contribution, wasted spend, or measurement integrity before scaling; runs a typed 20-item ROAS profile with verified vetoes and a SHIP/FIX/BLOCK/UNDECIDED gate on own exported data. Not for campaign structure design — use campaign-architect; not for creative production — use ad-creative-builder. 付费广告账户审计/ROAS评分 |

Ad Account Auditor
Audit one paid-media account or portfolio for incremental contribution and operating quality under declared constraints. Platform-reported ROAS is one input, never the objective or truth set by itself.
When This Must Trigger
- Before launching, materially increasing spend, or changing a risky bid/targeting strategy.
- When tracking, attribution inflation, unsafe placements, claims, or wasted spend are in doubt.
- When the user requests a ROAS/RQS account audit from their exports.
Quick Start
Audit this USD account for direct response using 7-day click, 3-day lag, and $120 CAC ceiling.
Run the incremental-profit profile against the holdout and order-ID exports.
Skill Contract
Reads: one normalized account/portfolio evidence set. Writes: only a permissioned v3 artifact. Done when: required context and all 20 states are explicit, vetoes use verified evidence, and scorer output is reported without executing spend changes.
This skill judges. conversion-signal-qa, attribution-reconciler, campaign-architect, ad-creative-builder, and budget-pacing-monitor build/fix the inputs. Never enable campaigns, change bids, upload audiences, or scale budgets without separate explicit approval.
Data Sources
| Need | Preferred evidence |
|---|
| Delivery/spend | Campaign, query, placement, audience, and change-history exports |
| Outcome truth | Deduplicated order/lead IDs from ecommerce, analytics, or CRM |
| Economics | Currency, margin/contribution, CAC/payback constraint |
| Attribution | Platform + own-data timestamps/IDs, normalized windows and lag |
| Safety/claims | Placement report, rendered ad/landing, approved claim/disclosure state from offer-claims-registry (the paid claims SSOT) |
| Incrementality | Holdout/geo split/causal test, otherwise explicitly labeled proxy |
Instructions
Runtime and Setup
Read ../../../references/auditor-runbook.md, scoring-semantics.md, roas-benchmark.md, and the ROAS catalog entry. Standalone installs use bundled immutable references/auditor-runtime.md; never fetch mutable main. Before deterministic calls, follow runtime-invocation.md, resolve AARON_SKILLS_ROOT="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || true)}", and require the scorer, validator, and typed catalogs. If unavailable, return score_state: NOT_SCORED / score_confidence: not_scored with no gate verdict or persistent artifact.
Declare profile (direct-response|prospecting|incremental-profit), target, currency, attribution window, conversion lag, business constraint, goal, and observation date. If any required context is missing, return NEEDS_INPUT/UNDECIDED.
Evidence and Scoring
- Normalize currency, windows, IDs, lag, and portfolio scope before comparing metrics.
- Score all 20
R1..S5 criteria from the benchmark with source/date/type/confidence.
- Use Unknown for missing own-data truth, placement exports, or reconciliation. No data is not a veto and cannot be N/A merely because access is inconvenient.
- Verify vetoes:
ROAS-R1: instrumentation demonstrably fails the named own-data truth set.ROAS-R2: material double-counting/inflation is demonstrated.ROAS-O1: material claim/disclosure failure against the offer-claims-registry approved state.ROAS-O2: applicable platform/restricted-category violation.ROAS-A1: placement evidence demonstrates a material safety breach.
- Run the typed scorer. Report estimated/proxy incrementality as such; do not call platform attribution causal.
§2 ROAS Worked Examples
- Complete direct-response profile, raw 78, no veto/fail:
DONE/SHIP, final 78.
- Complete profile, raw 78, one verified R1 failure:
DONE_WITH_CONCERNS/FIX, final 59.
- Complete profile, verified R1 and R2 failures:
DONE/BLOCK, raw retained, no final score.
- Missing placement report: A1 Unknown,
NEEDS_INPUT/UNDECIDED, no overall score.
§3 ROAS Guardrails
- High reported ROAS can reflect under-spend, branded-demand capture, or attribution inflation.
- Learning-phase disruption is an S2 finding, not an automatic veto.
- ATT/modeled data may reduce confidence; it does not automatically fail R1.
- Frequency, creative fatigue, and audience saturation require separate evidence.
- Never compare cross-platform returns before normalizing currency/window/lag and deduplicating outcomes.
§5 ROAS Translation
Lead with business impact and evidence. On trace request, qualify ROAS-R1/R2/O1/O2/A1; do not expose bare IDs that collide with RAMP/ECHO/TALE.
Report and Verdict
Show verdict, profile/context, score or coverage/interval, confidence, R/O/A/S detail, reconciliation table, verified critical controls, Unknown evidence, and prioritized fix/owner/rerun condition. The scorer owns status/verdict and the 59 ceiling.
Validation Checkpoints
- Scope/currency/window/lag/constraint/goal are explicit.
- Own-data outcome truth is separated from platform self-report.
- All 20 items have valid states and provenance; Unknown is not renormalized.
- Veto failures are positively verified.
- No spend/account mutation occurred without separate approval.
Persistence
Persist only after explicit authorization to memory/audits/ad/YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>.md. Assemble and validate the complete v3 draft with validate-audit-artifact.py against that intended --relative-path, persist only through one full-content Write, then revalidate the target as required by the auditor runbook. Edit/shell/MCP mutations of the reserved sink are unsupported. Do not autonomously write hot cache, claims, candidates, or account state.
