Without it, the audit compares you to your own average. That hides the leaks you got used to.
File B is what catches dead creatives and rising costs before they eat a full month.
If conversions don't add up, every other number is a guess. The audit checks this first.
Under 3 days or 1× CAC of spend, it's "watch", not "pause". The skill follows this rule.
Send next week's export and ask "what changed". You'll see wasted spend going down, or not.
+20–30% per step. Doubling a winner's budget overnight resets learning and kills it.
