Mission Briefing Extract
Before approving an AI-assisted campaign recommendation, the Marketing Controller must identify the evidence being used, the assumptions behind the recommendation, the operational risks, and the measurement standard that will determine whether the action was justified.
What Learners Review
Controller Simulation
Scenario
An AI system recommends increasing paid media spend by 35% for a high-performing campaign. Early results look positive, but the sample size is small, attribution confidence is limited, and the campaign includes claims that require compliance review.
Your Task
Decide whether to approve, reject, pause, or escalate the recommendation. Document your reasoning and specify what additional evidence is required.
