Granular analysis and first look

This tool allows marketers to:
- Optimize ad creative through asset testing, ensuring the most resonant ads are delivered to the right audience.
- Measure key metrics (Brand Lift, conversions, view rates) to inform strategic decisions.
- Set flexible confidence levels, enabling quick insights within days with increasing statistical accuracy.
- Prevent setup errors through automatic duplication for treatment arms.
- Explore advanced custom experiments for non-creative testing needs with multiple variables.
This feature supports Video Reach and Video View campaigns, empowering advertisers to run data-driven tests with ease.
