Which scenarios should we prepare for?
Last updated
These are planning scenarios, not predictions or assigned probabilities.
| Scenario | Evidence to watch in your own programme | Sensible response |
|---|---|---|
| Native reporting answers most routine questions | Teams repeatedly use platform reports while paid dashboards add little decision value | Reduce duplicated monitoring; retain targeted validation |
| Cross-engine shortlist gaps remain important | Comparable observations repeatedly exclude the brand on customer-derived buying questions | Keep focused monitoring and fund a diagnosed intervention |
| Measurement changes overwhelm the apparent trend | Model, interface or prompt changes coincide with reported gains | Pause improvement claims and establish a new baseline |
| Visibility improves without a useful commercial signal | Recommendations rise but qualification and customer evidence remain inconclusive | Investigate relevance and attribution; do not assume either success or failure |
