Time-dependent audience membership

Audience membership defined by location visitation is inherently time-bound (a person who visited last month may not still be a customer); treating an audience segment as static after its build date silently stales the targeting/measurement population.

Class
Case to account for
Affects
2 conversions
01

Detection

Segment build/refresh timestamp older than the segment's documented validity window relative to current campaign flight dates.

02

Mitigation

01
Attach a build timestamp and validity window to every audience segment and enforce refresh before expiry
02
Re-materialize location-based audiences on a fixed cadence rather than reuse a single static build across a long flight
