Bid Decision Flow is a diagnostic tool designed to help troubleshoot line item performance. It visualizes auction data and shows how the bidding system responded to auctions within a specified lookback window, helping users identify why a line item may not be bidding.

Drop-reasons for targeting mismatches are displayed at the module level. A mismatch in any of the targeting modules (e.g., Geo, Platform) can cause a line item not to bid. Bid Decision Flow logs the first mismatch it encounters.

Drop ReasonDescription

Content mismatchNon-match due to content targeting
Environment mismatchNon-match due to environment targeting
Exchange mismatchNon-match due to exchange targeting
Geo mismatchNon-match due to geo targeting
