- Monday.com Integration: Create tasks with purchase instructions and implementation details
- Audit Trail: Log all data flows and recommendations for tracking
Success Metrics
- Handle 2-5M records/month reliably
- Generate optimization recommendations within 30 minutes of data ingestion
- 99% data ingestion success rate
- Zero manual data transfer processes
- Ready for v2 automation enhancement

6.3 Purchase Instructions Template
Example Purchase Instruction:
RECOMMENDATION: Increase Facebook Lead Ads spend in Atlanta market
CURRENT STATE:
- Source: Facebook Lead Ads - Atlanta
- Current Spend: $500/week
- Current Volume: 150 leads/week
- Conversion Rate: 12%
RECOMMENDED CHANGE:
