Stack Operator Reliability Score

Composite from core tools only — supplementary picks do not dilute the score. Your stack fails on the weakest glue, not the average.

Stack score = 0.60 × mean(core tool scores) + 0.40 × min(core tool score). Supplementary tools are listed but do not dilute the composite — your stack fails on the weakest core glue.

30-Day Implementation Plan

  1. Week 1 — Scope and first core tool

    1. Scope a single advertising workflow for your team before adding tools.
    2. Set up a Google Ads account and create campaigns

  2. Week 2 — Core stack live

    1. Create a Meta Ads Manager account and set up campaigns
    2. Create a Copy.ai account (free or paid)

  3. Week 3 — Measure and add supplementary

    1. Once core workflows run reliably, add tools such as AdCreative.ai, WordStream Advisor, Optmyzr for automation and reporting.

  4. Week 4 — Decide keep / cut / swap

    1. Track time saved on one advertising workflow for your team for 7 days. Downgrade or remove tools with no measurable ROI.
    2. Document the final stack in Notion: core order, integrations, and manual override SOP when automation fails.
