## Assessment Sections

### 1. Campaign Measurement Fundamentals
**Focus**: Core campaign measurement concepts and calculations

**Key Topics**:
- ROAS calculation including all campaign costs (media, platform fees, creative)
- CPA optimization with view-through value weighting
- Conversion window optimization based on cost-benefit analysis
- ROAS vs ROI distinction and application
- Attribution window implications and selection
- Statistical significance interpretation in marketing tests
- Metric selection based on campaign objectives

**Sample Question**: A campaign generated $85,000 in attributed revenue with $25,000 in media spend, $3,000 in platform fees, and $2,000 in creative costs. What is the true ROAS?
- 3.40 (media spend only)
- 2.83 ✓ (includes all costs)
- 3.00 (excludes platform fees)
- 2.67 (incorrect calculation)

**Explanation**: ROAS = Revenue / Total Cost = $85,000 / ($25,000 + $3,000 + $2,000) = $85,000 / $30,000 = 2.83. All campaign costs must be included for accurate ROAS calculation.

### 2. Incrementality & Causal Measurement
**Focus**: Incrementality testing and causal measurement techniques

**Key Topics**:
- Geographic PST (Pre-Post-Test) analysis with market size adjustments
- Holdout group sizing calculations for statistical power
- Causal inference methodology and bias identification
- Test vs control group design principles
- Incremental ROAS calculation accounting for natural growth
- Minimum detectable effect and sample size requirements

**Sample Question**: Calculate the true incremental ROAS from this geo-based PST, accounting for market size differences and control market trends.

**Test Market (40% of Total)**
- Pre-Period: $200,000
- Test Period: $280,000
- Test Period Ad Spend: $40,000

**Control Market (60% of Total)**
- Pre-Period: $300,000
- Test Period: $390,000
- Control Market Ad Spend: $0
- Test to Control Market Size Ratio: 1.5

**Answer**: 2.25
**Explanation**: Incremental Revenue = (Test Growth - Control Growth) × Market Size Factor = (($280,000 - $200,000) - ($390,000 - $300,000) × 1.5) = ($80,000 - $90,000 × 1.5) = $90,000. Incremental ROAS = $90,000 / $40,000 = 2.25

### 3. Advanced Optimization & Testing
**Focus**: Complex optimization scenarios and testing methodologies

**Key Topics**:
- Multi-metric optimization using efficient frontier method
- Sequential testing framework with peeking penalties
- Budget allocation optimization across campaigns
- Spend elasticity and scaling efficiency
- Statistical power analysis for complex tests
- Portfolio optimization with minimum ROAS constraints

**Sample Question**: Calculate the optimal budget allocation between campaigns using the efficient frontier method with additional budget constraints and minimum portfolio ROAS requirements.
