Prompt text
Optimize paid media budget allocation across channels to maximize return at a given spend level.

Current budget: {{total_budget}}
Current channel allocations: {{current_allocation}}
Performance data by channel: {{performance_data}} (spend, conversions, revenue)

1. Current state analysis:
   For each channel:
   - Current spend and % of total budget
   - Conversions and revenue attributed
   - CPA and ROAS
   - Marginal ROAS: performance of the last incremental dollar spent (from spend vs performance curve)

2. Response curve estimation:
   For each channel, estimate the diminishing returns curve:
   - Collect historical data points: (spend level, performance outcome) per week
   - Fit a saturation curve: Revenue = a x (1 - e^(-b x Spend))
   - Where is the inflection point? Where does marginal ROAS drop below 1?

3. Optimal allocation theory:
   - Budget is optimally allocated when marginal ROAS is equal across all channels
   - If Channel A marginal ROAS (1.8) > Channel B marginal ROAS (0.9): shift budget from B to A
   - Continue reallocation until marginal ROAS equalizes

4. Proposed reallocation:
   - For each channel: recommended new budget
   - Expected change in conversions and revenue vs current allocation
   - Total portfolio ROAS improvement from optimization

5. Constraints to consider:
   - Minimum effective budget per channel (below a threshold, channels stop working)
   - Channel caps from inventory limitations or audience saturation
   - Strategic channels that require funding beyond what pure ROI math suggests
   - Brand safety requirements

6. Testing plan:
   - Do not implement all reallocation at once: risk of performance disruption
   - Phased approach: 20% reallocation per month with measurement between each step

Return: marginal ROAS by channel, response curve parameters, optimal allocation table, revenue uplift estimate, and phased implementation plan.
