• Reads: the user's own customer/CRM CSV (traits, value/LTV, last-purchase date, fit signals) and GA4 audience/demographics export; the ROAS profile (

  direct-response|prospecting|incremental-profit

  ); target platforms.
• Writes: a user-facing segment plan and reusable summary to

  memory/ad/audience-segment-builder/

  .
• Promotes: the seed/lookalike-seed/exclusion bucket names, the funnel-stage map, the suppression rules, and any missing export to

  memory/hot-cache.md

  and

  memory/open-loops.md

  ; propose durable segment definitions as pending-decision items.
• Done when: each audience is named and grounded in an exported column; value-based seeds are ranked by the user's own value field; exclusion segments cover existing customers and recent purchasers (window stated); the funnel-stage map is platform-neutral; and the ROAS A relevance of each bucket is noted (or flagged NEEDS_INPUT).
• Primary next skill: campaign-architect to consume these segments into account structure and match types.

Emit the standard shape from skill-contract.md §Handoff Summary Format.

1. Confirm the typed profile and platforms — select

   direct-response

   ,

   prospecting

   , or

   incremental-profit

   ; their ROAS A weights are 0.15 / 0.30 / 0.10 respectively (see roas-benchmark.md §Profiles and Scoring). Prospecting leans on lookalike seeds; direct-response and incremental-profit emphasize exclusions, warm segments, and own-data value. Note which platforms must share the segments.
2. Profile the export — identify the columns that exist: value/LTV, last-purchase date, plan/tier, source/medium, fit signals. Missing columns become NEEDS_INPUT flags, not guesses.
3. Build seed audiences — group existing customers/visitors by trait or behavior into named segments, each tied to an exported column (e.g.

   repeat-buyers-90d

   ,

   high-AOV

   ,

   pricing-page-visitors

   ).
4. Build value-based lookalike SEED lists — rank rows by the user's own value field, take the top tier as the seed, and emit the seed rows (the audience definition) — not a platform-specific lookalike key. State the seed size and that platforms expand it.
5. Build exclusion / suppression segments — define existing-customers, recent-purchasers (state the window, e.g. 14–30 days), and bad-fit/refunded/unqualified segments so spend is not shown to people who already converted or never will.
6. Map audiences to funnel stages — lay out a platform-neutral cold → warm → hot map (prospect / engaged / intent / customer) so the same WHO is reused across Google, Meta, and others; note retargeting windows and suppression per stage.
7. Note ROAS A relevance — for each bucket, note how it informs A (Audience) (targeting, exclusions, brand/placement safety) per the benchmark; if the export lacks a value or fit column, mark the affected bucket NEEDS_INPUT rather than fabricating it.
