# Audience Segment Builder

Turns the user's own customer/CRM/GA4 export into seed audiences, value-based lookalike SEED lists, exclusion/suppression segments, and a cross-platform funnel-stage targeting map. It defines **who the audiences are and how they are seeded and suppressed** — campaign-architect then consumes these segments into account structure and match types; this skill does not build campaigns, and it is distinct from organic keyword-research, which reads SERP intent rather than paid segments.

## Quick Start

```
Build audience segments from my customer export: [path]. Goal is DR. Platforms: Google + Meta.
```

```
Make a value-based lookalike SEED list from my top customers and the exclusion list for people who already bought. [customer CSV]
```

```
Map my GA4 audiences to funnel stages so I can reuse the same targeting across Google and Meta. [GA4 audience/demographics export]
```

## Skill Contract

**Expected output**: a set of named audiences in four buckets — (1) **seed audiences** grouped by trait/behavior, (2) **value-based lookalike SEED lists** (the high-value seed rows themselves, not a platform key), (3) **exclusion/suppression segments** (existing customers, recent purchasers, bad-fit), and (4) a **funnel-stage targeting map** reusable across platforms — with notes that inform the ROAS **A (Audience)** dimension, plus the standard handoff summary.

- **Reads**: the user's own customer/CRM CSV (traits, value/LTV, last-purchase date, fit signals) and GA4 audience/demographics export; the ROAS profile (`direct-response|prospecting|incremental-profit`); target platforms.
- **Writes**: a user-facing segment plan and reusable summary to `memory/ad/audience-segment-builder/`.
- **Promotes**: the seed/lookalike-seed/exclusion bucket names, the funnel-stage map, the suppression rules, and any missing export to `memory/hot-cache.md` and `memory/open-loops.md`; propose durable segment definitions as pending-decision items.
- **Done when**: each audience is named and grounded in an exported column; value-based seeds are ranked by the user's own value field; exclusion segments cover existing customers and recent purchasers (window stated); the funnel-stage map is platform-neutral; and the ROAS **A** relevance of each bucket is noted (o
