Build a governed Google Ads signal workflow

## Overview

1. 01Use the network's own diagnostics

   Validate event receipt, match quality where applicable, deduplication, timestamps, values, and errors in Google Ads. Reconcile those diagnostics with the source system.

2. 02Design for the optimization objective

   Select events that are frequent enough for learning and meaningful enough to represent business value. Document fallback behavior if volume drops.

3. 03Connect creative and outcome learning

   Use campaign and creative context with mature outcomes to inform the next signal, budget, and creative decision.

## Process

1. Define the campaign objective and event
2. Map source fields and identifiers
3. Configure the supported network endpoint
4. Validate test events and diagnostics
5. Monitor mature outcomes and drift
