⚠ Above break-even is not the same as wasted
Every figure here is built on attributed sales. A placement above break-even is losing money on the sales Amazon credited to it. Whether those sales would have happened anyway is a different question and this report cannot answer it.

ACoS against break-even
The vertical line is your {{BREAKEVEN}} break-even. Everything past it is the overshoot.

Before You Change Anything
Read this first
1 · There is no organic in this file
Top of Search often carries rank. Cutting a placement that is above break-even on attributed sales can cost organic position, and that cost appears nowhere in this report.
2 · The modifier is not a switch
Placement modifiers change bids, not delivery. Reducing one lowers what you pay to compete for that placement. It does not remove you from it, and anyone describing it that way has misread the setting.
3 · Break-even is yours, not mine
Every number on this page moves if the margin does. At 35% break-even the figure is larger; at 50% it is smaller. That is why the margin is printed in the headline sentence rather than a footnote.
