  • Audience and measurement health scoring: Reviews targeting strategy (intent/in-market/affinity/customer match) and verifies measurement approach (including attribution limitations for CTV) while computing a weighted health score.
  • Migration and deprecation validation: Flags remaining VAC usage by April 2026 and highlights Demand Gen limitations such as lack of supported frequency capping.
