A 12-minute weekly dashboard ritual catches 80% of leaks

A 12-minute weekly dashboard ritual catches 80% of leaks
Most earnings problems show up as a metric drift, not a crash. The weekly review checklist (same day, same time):
— Clicks: down >20% week-over-week? Check a broken link or de-indexed page
— Conversion: under your ~3% baseline? Stockouts or wrong-intent traffic
— EPC: dropped? Category mix shifted, or a high-AOV post lost rank
— Items Shipped vs Ordered: big gap = high return/cancel category
— Bounty/Subscribe events: trending to zero often means a broken bounty link
Log each number in one sheet; trend lines beat single readings.
So what: the same five metrics, every week, in 12 minutes. Drift caught early is a fix; caught late is a quarter of lost commission.
