Move budget toward the ad set that converts
Know which numbers can carry a decision.
The Trust Gate is Adgent's rule that weak evidence cannot carry a decision. Adgent checks a number before it can rank a decision or move money. Reliable evidence advances; weak signals become a named finding.
Trust Gate
Trusted numbers can move money. Weak ones become named findings.
Every metric window is labelled trusted, degraded or untrusted before it is scored.

Reported ROAS is built on checkout steps, not purchases.
Held back for this run
Raise budget on the top ROAS ad set
Cut the ad set with the worst CPA
The rule is the product's: lagging trailing days, a mid-window tracking change, or checkout-inflated ROAS move a window down.
Every change arrives as a card you can refuse.
Current and proposed state, side by side. On this one it flagged its own step as too big and offered a slower path.
Where the cards come from33% in one step is beyond the 20% band. A jump this size can reset the ad set's learning phase.

One live account, 30 Sep 2026: built in 40 s, rejected, nothing changed. The 20% band is Adgent's own ceiling.
Every change passes three gates.
All three, or it doesn't happen.
Judgment, not reflex. On a 61-campaign Google account the easy move was more budget. It read the numbers as a rank problem and moved the work to ad strength and bids.
