The mechanics

Keep this in mind.There is no single setting for Custom HTML Tag. It bends to the audience, the channels, and the wider plan.

The working rule is plain. Agree what Custom HTML Tag covers first, then act on it. Skip that order and Custom HTML Tag loses its shared meaning, and two teams end up measuring two different things. Worth a slow read.
