How it operates

Worth a slow read.There is no single setting for App Subtitle. It bends to the audience, the channels, and the wider plan.

Keep the order simple: define App Subtitle for your context, then decide how to act. Reverse it and the budget chases a number nobody agreed on. Look at it this way.
