How to use it

Keep production, media, and backlog separate.

Set the production and reserve shares first. The remaining percentage becomes the active media allocation, so the full budget always stays visible.

The evidence floor is your team's rule. Comparing it with an even cell split can reveal an overfilled plan, but it cannot tell you what a platform needs.

Questions

What to know before you use it.

Does this recommend how much I should spend?

No. It divides the total, percentages, cell count, and evidence floor you enter. Those choices remain yours.

What is an active test cell?

It is one creative and audience setup you plan to fund now. Backlog cells remain visible but receive no budget in this worksheet.

Why keep a reserve?

A reserve is optional money you intentionally leave unassigned. The calculator does not decide when or whether to use it.
