3. Creative & Offer Scaling: How to maintain effectiveness at increased expenditure by diversifying creative angles
4. Budget Allocation Strategy: marketing structure, testing budget versus scaling budget, and pacing
5. Risk controls, such as frequency limitations, CPA/ROAS levels that cause pauses or adjustments, and warning indicators of diminishing returns
6. Measurement: What indicators should be monitored every day or every week to ensure that scaling is profitable rather than just larger

2. Evaluation of Scaling Readiness
