The question

“Our reported CPA fell from $200 to $150. Sales says volume is down. Check the $6,000 increase before we approve it.”

Advertising and CRM systems remain authoritative. This illustrative workflow reads approved exports and makes no campaign change.

Check what the campaign is really counting.

The headline report mixes demo requests with a new guide-download action. Keep the raw report, then expose the comparable action beneath it.

Useful result

Reported CPA improves 25%; comparable demo CPA moves from $200 to $300.

Compare leads at the same point in the journey.

RevOps validates acquisition-time eligibility and sales acceptance after the same seven-day follow-up window.

Useful result

60 recent eligible prospects; 18 accepted by day 7. Day-21 remains incomplete.

Make the next budget decision with the limits in view.

The budget owner receives the finding, source versions, and unresolved questions without granting an agent spending authority.

Useful result

The increase is held; no incremental-return claim and no live campaign mutation.
