Launch checklist

1. Pick account route: TON for micro-tests, Euro for geo filters, Stars for worldwide (except Germany).
2. Build a tight channel whitelist ($3–$12 CPM) before scaling spend.
3. Draft 3–5 copy variants; avoid guaranteed returns and aggressive finance claims.
4. Set AutoCPM corridor after first 24h of delivery data.
5. Review hourly stats; pause lines with CTR collapse or repeat moderation rejects.

Numbers to model
