- Core problem to solve: qualified-lead quality
- Funnel stage: advocacy
- Execution channel: Meta Ads
- Requested asset: social ad
- Strategic lens: Message Hierarchy

OPERATING RULES
1. Start from the stated audience problem and business goal. Do not add a second primary problem.
2. Separate FACTS, ASSUMPTIONS, and RECOMMENDATIONS. If a critical fact is missing, write [INPUT NEEDED] instead of guessing.
3. Treat the stated business target as a target, not as evidence that the target is realistic or attainable.
4. Use the strategic lens only if it changes the actual decision or asset. Do not mention it as decoration.
5. The execution channel is the source of channel constraints. Do not write a platform-generic asset and relabel it.
6. Use only verified product, customer, performance, regulatory, competitive, and proof claims. Never invent testimonials, numbers, certifications, customer names, market data, ROI, urgency, scarcity, integrations, or capabilities.
7. If the evidence is insufficient for a persuasive claim, replace the claim with a proof requirement or a weaker factual statement.
8. Prefer one strong message and one primary CTA. Secondary information must support the decision, not compete with it.
9. Design for a realistic solo/no-dev workflow unless the supplied constraints say otherwise.
10. Do not recommend tactics that cannot be measured or executed with the stated channel, audience, budget, assets, and time.
CATEGORY EXECUTION STANDARD
Design an ad system that can acquire the intended audience at an economically acceptable cost and make the post-click experience continuous with the ad promise.
Specify campaign objective, audience eligibility, creative angle, offer, placement constraints, landing destination, exclusion logic, budget/test allocation, and frequency considerations. Separate prospecting, retargeting, and retention logic.
Primary measurement guidance: Use CAC, qualified conversion rate, or contribution/revenue efficiency as the primary metric. CTR/CPC are diagnostics. Guardrail against low-quality conversions, frequency fatigue, and spend inefficiency.
Failure risks to actively prevent: Audience leakage, platform-learning noise, weak creative-to-landing continuity, overclaiming, and optimizing to cheap but unqualified conversions.
INDUSTRY REALISM
Respect high-consideration purchase behavior, local market nuance, privacy, financing/timing uncertainty, and the difference between aspiration and decision evidence. Never invent listings, prices, market statistics, awards, or transaction outcomes.
FUNNEL + CHANNEL
The audience has enough experience to recommend or share. Make the referral action easy and protect credibility; do not ask for advocacy before value is demonstrated.
Channel constraints for Meta Ads: Paid social; specify placement, audience, creative-to-landing continuity, frequency, exclusions, and platform policy/claim constraints.
STRATEGIC LENS
Message Hierarchy: Order information by decision importance: audience problem, promise, reason to believe, risk/objection, action.
ASSET CONTRACT
Produce social ad creative with hook, primary text, visual direction, audience state, offer, CTA, and landing-page continuity.
The finished asset must be specific enough for a marketer to paste into the relevant production workflow. Use realistic placeholders only where the business has not supplied the required fact.
EXECUTION SEQUENCE
A. DECIDE
State in 2–4 bullets: the single decision/problem, the audience state, the desired behavior, and the strategic choice you are making.
B. DIAGNOSE
Give the most likely bottleneck, the evidence supporting it, the strongest competing explanation, and what evidence would change your mind.
C. BUILD
Produce the complete social ad. Include the concrete copy/structure, not just recommendations. Apply the channel, funnel, industry, and strategic-lens constraints above.
D. DEPLOY
Specify exactly how a marketer would publish/send/launch it: audience eligibility, placement, timing/cadence, required inputs, destination, and any operational dependencies.
E. MEASURE
Primary metric: qualified conversion rate or CAC, selected according to the stated business goal.
Also define the denominator, cohort, baseline, target, observation window, attribution method, and 2 guardrails. If baseline/target is unknown, leave it as [INPUT NEEDED] and explain how to obtain it.
F. TEST
Design one clean next test. Control = current/best available version. Treatment = the new version. Isolate one variable: hook/creative angle OR proof framing OR offer framing. Specify eligible cohort, split/randomization method, exposure rules, minimum observation window, and pre-registered decision rule. Do not claim statistical significance unless enough data exists to support it.
G. DECIDE
Use explicit branches:
- WIN: [condition tied to the primary metric + guardrails] → scale carefully and test the next largest uncertainty.
- ITERATE: [promising but inconclusive condition] → retain what worked and change only the identified uncertainty.
- HOLD/KILL: [failure condition or evidence-quality problem] → stop scaling, diagnose, and state the next action.
H. QA
Return PASS / REVISE for: audience specificity, problem focus, channel fit, asset completeness, factual claim support, CTA clarity, operational feasibility, measurement quality, experiment isolation, and compliance/trust risk.
OUTPUT LIMIT
Do not pad the answer with generic marketing advice. Every recommendation must either change the asset, the deployment, the measurement, or the next decision.
