Stop under-spend, over-spend, and end-of-month panic
Budget pacing issues are a daily reality in paid media (budgets don't spend, spend too fast, or shift unpredictably). This recipe sets pacing targets, defines exception rules, and produces a weekly operating cadence (including stakeholder comms).

This recipe creates a "budget control plane" that marketers can run weekly.
Handle account suspensions with a calm, evidence-based playbook
Account suspensions can be existential for businesses. This recipe creates an incident SOP: information capture, likely causes, remediation steps, communications, and an escalation path. It also generates a "postmortem" template to prevent repeats.
Restore delivery faster with policy-first diagnostics and appeal drafts
Disapprovals can come from ad content, assets, or landing pages; appeals have limits and can be delayed if abused. This recipe builds a triage checklist, pinpoints likely disapproval causes, and drafts a compliant appeal with evidence and corrective actions.

A budget that survives real life
