How to think about it
Think of it as an experience layer
Start by viewing it as a set of experience and operations controls, not an internal engineering system.
Read it alongside analytics

What to review alongside it
- Changes in requests, CTR, and revenue before and after a configuration update
- Click performance across placements and result styles
- Whether user experience and revenue improve together after frequency tuning
