SUMMARY Conducted a full-output Meta discovery test to identify businesses exhibiting signals of struggle with Meta advertising. Focused on detecting problem indicators (e.g., stagnant ad performance, low engagement, inconsistent messaging) and angle opportunities (e.g., expressed frustration, recent creative shifts, leadership changes). Sourced real-time evidence from public-facing Meta assets including business Pages, ad libraries, audience engagement metrics, and executive commentary. Compiled findings into a structured discovery payload for verification and downstream use in outreach sequencing.

RISKS OR GAPS - Limited access to backend Meta Ads Manager data; reliance on public proxies (Ad Library, engagement estimates). - Readiness scores are heuristic (scale 1–10) based on observable struggle intensity and openness signals — not yet validated against conversion outcomes. - One candidate (LumaSkin) may already be hiring internally — risk of outreach redundancy. - No A/B test of discovery method against control group; full-output verification pending. NEXT RECOMMENDED MOVE Pass discovery payload to Meta Outreach Executor for phase-two outreach sequencing using angle-specific messaging templates. Request confirmation of contact attempts and response rates to close feedback loop. Initiate verification cycle by booking one strategy call using candidate #2 (UrbanBite Meal Kits) as test case. Report outcome within 72 hours.
