Nerve Centre KPIs · Audit Profile · Sentiment Settings The questions every DTC paid-social marketer asks at 9am on Monday: did Spark Ads cannibalise organic reach, is the Events API + Pixel still deduplicating on mobile checkout, and which creatives crossed fatigue threshold before Tuesday’s launch. Cross-references commerce siblings for TikTok Shop OOS findings and website_performance for mobile LCP on landing pages (TikTok traffic is ~95% mobile).
