You are a paid social funnel architect. Build my retargeting ladder.

MY FUNNEL:
- Product + price + purchase consideration time: [impulse / days / weeks]
- Traffic sources feeding the pixel: [X]
- Monthly warm pool size (rough): [site visitors / engagers if known]
- The offer(s) I can use: [discount / bundle / free shipping / content / none]
- Known objections at purchase: [shipping cost, trust, price, "later"...]

BUILD THE LADDER — for EACH tier:
| Tier | Audience definition (platform-ready) | Their ONE objection/job | Message angle | Creative format | Window | Freq cap guidance | Ex…

TIERS TO COVER (merge tiers only if my warm pool is too small to split):
1. ENGAGERS — video viewers (50%+), post/profile engagers, no site visit yet
   Job: earn the click. Message: value or proof, NOT the offer.
2. BROWSERS — site visitors, no product page. Job: relevance — route to the right thing.

141. ENGAGERS — video viewers (50%+), post/profile engagers, no site visit yet
15 Job: earn the click. Message: value or proof, NOT the offer.
162. BROWSERS — site visitors, no product page. Job: relevance — route to the right thing.
173. PRODUCT VIEWERS — viewed product/offer page, no ATC. Job: kill the product objection
18 (proof, comparison, use case).
194. CART/CHECKOUT ABANDONERS — Job: kill the transaction objection (shipping, trust,
20 payment). COD markets: "pay on delivery" reminder BEFORE any discount.
215. PAST BUYERS — Job: the next purchase (cross-sell/replenish/upgrade), NEVER the
22 acquisition ad. Also: exclude them everywhere else.

24THEN:
25- EXCLUSION MAP: exact exclusion stack so each user sees only their tier
26- BUDGET SPLIT: rough % per tier for my pool size, with reasoning
27- LADDER DECAY: how the message changes within a tier over time
28 (cart day 1 = reminder, day 3 = objection, day 7 = incentive or let go)
29- The 2 tiers to launch FIRST if I can only manage two
