Bleeders & Winners

1. Detection Logic

🩸 Bleeder Signal (Stop Logic)

An ad is flagged as a Bleeder if it hits any of these red flags:

| Signal | Threshold | Meaning |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Low Engagement** | CTR < 1.0% | The audience is ignoring the ad. |
| **Ad Fatigue** | Frequency > 3.5 | The same people are seeing it too often. |
| **Wasted Spend** | > $10 spent with 0 conversions (or 1× Target CPA with 0 conversions) | Budget burning with no return. |
| **Inefficiency** | CPA > 2× Target CPA | Conversions exist but are unprofitable. |

🏆 Winner Signal (Scale Logic)

An ad is flagged as a Winner only if it meets all of these green flags:

| Signal | Threshold | Meaning |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **High Engagement** | CTR > 2.0% | The audience is responding. |
| **Efficient Cost** | CPC < 50% of account average | Delivery is cheap relative to peers. |
| **Proven Results** | > 10 conversions | Enough volume for statistical significance. |
| **Scaling Room** | Frequency < 2.5 | Audience is still fresh — room to scale. |

2. Automated Action Workflow

| Status | AI Action | Strategic Intervention |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Bleeder** | Flag for "Immediate Pause" | Verify if the ad is < 3 days old (new ads need time to stabilize). |
| **Winner** | Suggest 20% Budget Increase | Confirm inventory/stock levels can handle increased sales. |
| **Winner** | Flag for "Creative Extraction" | Analyze the visual/hook to replicate it in new variants. |

3. Ad Context to Include

For every flagged ad (Bleeder or Winner), always surface the copy alongside the metrics so the reader can see what's being said, not just what's happening.

| Field                   | Spec                                                                |
| :---------------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Headline**            | Full headline as written                                            |
| **Primary text (body)** | First ~120 chars; truncate with `…` if longer                       |
| **CTA**                 | Platform CTA label (e.g. "Shop Now", "Learn More", "Book Demo")     |
