Candidate remediations are never executable. | Check | Severity | Outcome | Why it matters | Fix status | | -------------------------------------------------- | -------- | -------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | **Engagement rate below 1%** | medium | Grow revenue | Engagement below 1 percent means content is reaching feeds and being scrolled past; format and hook need work before spend goes behind it. | Report only | | **Reach dropped > 20% vs prior period** | medium | Run operations | Reach dropping over 20 percent usually means the algorithm has deprioritised the account or a format change landed badly; catching it early keeps the slide shallow. | Report only | | **Posting cadence collapsed (no post in 14 days)** | low | Grow revenue | Posting cadence collapsing to zero lets the audience's attention lapse; reach compounds only while the account stays present. | Report only | ### Build your own automated fixes 3 checks report findings on YouTube today. Turn any finding into an automated fix with a Vortex IQ workflow: **13,885 read and write operations across 229 connectors** are available as building blocks, with approval, verification and rollback on every change. ## Automate approved work Vortex IQ is integrated with **5 read** and **3 write** operations across v1betapropertys, https:oauth2googleapicomtokens, https:wwwgoogleapicomyoutubechannels, https:wwwgoogleapicomyoutubeplaylistitems, https:wwwgoogleapicomyoutubevideos, https:youtubeanalyticgoogleapicomreports on YouTube. Combine them with anything from the **13,885 operations across 229 connectors** to automate the work in your own words. Changes follow the merchant's configured approval policy: the target, proposed change, affected records, risk, reversibility and verification plan are shown before execution. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system.
