Rules baked in: one concept per ad set with several variations, test at 3× the target cost of the event Meta optimizes for over 7 days, promote only after a concept spends 10× that cost and still hits target, never kill before the threshold.
Win rate is the lever. A higher win rate means fewer ads for the same spend, which is why every ad is tracked to revenue and every winner gets new variations. Funnel rates are starting benchmarks; replace them with the account's real numbers.
