Ad Creative Monitor — Catch Fatigue Early

Creative fatigue is the silent killer of ad accounts. CTR drops 0.1% per day, frequency ticks up, CPC quietly inflates — and by the time you notice in Ads Manager, you've burned through budget.

This skill watches for those signals daily and flags creatives that need rotation.

How It Works

Fatigue Signals (ranked by severity)

Signal	Threshold	Severity
CTR dropping 3+ days in a row	>20% decline from peak	🔴 Critical
Frequency above 3.5	Audience seeing ad too often	🟡 Warning
CPC rising 3+ days in a row	>15% increase from baseline	🟡 Warning
Impressions declining	Ad losing delivery	🟠 Monitor

The Check
