What is creative fatigue?

Creative fatigue is the decline in ad performance that happens when your audience has seen the same creative too many times. It shows up as rising frequency, falling CTR, and declining ROAS — even when targeting and budget haven't changed.

How is the score calculated?

The audit scores eight dimensions of creative health on a 0–3 scale each, producing a total out of 24. The dimensions cover velocity, testing structure, fatigue detection, message continuity, learning loops, format diversity, refresh cadence, and creative attribution.

What's a healthy creative testing velocity?

For brands spending $20k+/month on paid, a minimum of 8–12 new variations per month prevents fatigue from outpacing production. Above $50k/month, 15–25+ variations with a structured testing matrix is typical for high-performing accounts.

How do I fix a low score?

Start with the lowest-scoring dimension — that's your most expensive constraint. A creative teardown identifies the specific break in your system and provides prioritized next steps, not a generic checklist.

Can I share my results?

Yes. After completing the audit you can copy a shareable link with your score, or download a summary. Share it with your team or agency to align on where the system needs work.
