The situation

Your flagship campaign is a vanity-metric darling — CTR up, leads up, the dashboard glows green — but sales says the leads are junk and pipeline is flat. The CMO defends the campaign in the QBR tomorrow and needs a story. You have 30 minutes to cut through the vanity metrics, find where the funnel actually leaks, and decide: fix the targeting, fix the offer, fix the handoff to sales, or kill it — and bring sales and the CMO with you instead of starting a turf war.
