AMC Q4 readiness

Prepare the instance and reporting for the holiday and peak season.

Verify the official Amazon Ads documentation before making business-critical changes.

Checklist

  1. P0

    1. Complete the production instance and all relevant advertisers before the peak.

    Pending approvals create blind spots in peak reporting.

  2. P0

    2. Check the 13-month data lookback against the intended year-over-year comparison.

    Historical data outside the window cannot be added retrospectively.

  3. P0

    3. Complete access verification with sufficient lead time.

    Waiting periods do not belong in the revenue-critical period.

  4. P1

    4. Configure recurring Q4 reports as schedules and run a test.

    Regular reporting should not depend on manual steps.

  5. P1

    5. Plan query windows around AMC data latency.

    Time ranges that are too recent lead to incomplete analyses.

  6. P2

    6. Document aggregation and privacy thresholds for Q4 KPIs.

    Suppressed small segments must be explainable in reporting.
