Find failures, leaks and risks before they cost sales. Improve discovery, conversion, campaigns and repeat purchase. Monitor orders, fulfilment, delivery and settlement. Find storefront, speed, accessibility and journey problems. Keep tracking, access and change under governed control. ### From connection to verified outcome The controlled sequence every capability follows. Nothing changes a connected system without the approval step. Authorise the source. Scopes are shown before access is granted. Watch the signals against your own baselines, not universal defaults. Run checks and gather evidence specific to your store. Explain what happened, why it matters and the proposed action. You review scope, risk and reversibility before anything changes. Apply through governed connector operations. Confirm the intended result and keep the receipt. No changes are made without the configured approval policy. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system; schedules, access scopes, API usage and data handling remain governed by Vortex IQ controls. ### Monitor performance 72 performance signals. Open an outcome to see its signals and how each one alerts. Read-only operations do not modify the connected system. | Signal | Alert behaviour | What it tracks | | --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **All Conversions** | Watch only | Description pending editorial review;

Candidate remediations are never executable. Open a check for the detail. **Severity** critical · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Report only Over 100 clicks with zero recorded conversions almost never means genuinely zero sales; it means the ad platform cannot see the sales that are happening. Every bid strategy that optimises toward conversions is currently optimising against no signal at all, which makes the campaign's spend effectivel Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps. Reference: `AD-TRACK-002` **Severity** critical · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Candidate remediation A campaign returning less than $1 of revenue for every $1 spent is losing money on every dollar put into it, before accounting for product cost or fulfilment. Over 30 days that is not a bad day, it is a sustained drain on ad budget that could be funding a campaign that actually returns a profit. A likely corrective operation exists, but its mapping and recovery are not yet complete, so execution is not offered. Evidence and recommended manual steps are provided. Reference: `AD-SPEND-001` **Severity** high · **Outcome** Control risk and change · **Fix status** Report only Ads landing without UTM tags cannot be attributed, so the spend disappears from every report and the channel looks worse than it is. Vortex IQ detects and explains this; resolution is manual, with evidence and recommended steps. Reference: `AD-TRACK-001` **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Candidate remediation More than 80% of this month's budget is gone before the month is half over. At this pace the campaign runs out of budget and stops serving for the back half of the month, losing whatever sales it would have driven during that gap. A likely corrective operation exists, but its mapping and recovery are not yet complete, so execution is not offered. Evidence and recommended manual steps are provided. Reference: `AD-SPEND-002` **Severity** medium · **Outcome** Grow revenue · **Fix status** Candidate remediation A disapproved ad stops serving immediately, so any budget allocated to it is not reaching anyone. If it sits in an active campaign unnoticed, the campaign quietly loses reach and volume with no error visible outside the ad platform itself. A likely corrective operation exists, but its mapping and recovery are not yet complete, so execution is not offered. Evidence and recommended manual steps are provided.
