- Preserve metric ownership exactly as written; do not move metrics between employers.
- Use Senior Marketing Lead or Delivery Lead - Marketing and Performance for Wizeline; never inflate the title.
- Describe Uber's approximately $70M as stewarded/managed Google-channel investment, never as budget owned.
- Keep Meta's -25% CPA claim with Tec de Monterrey.
- Keep Crediclub CPA qualitative unless a future verified number is supplied.
- Keep PMI's Effie Bronze 2021 campaign attribution with PMI.
- Do not recreate the archived independent consultant role or invent custom ML model claims.
