Your last ten posts all followed roughly the same format, the numbers came in about the same as always, and nobody on your team has raised it as a problem. There is no bad month to point to, no obvious failure, nothing you could screenshot and bring to a meeting. And yet you already know something about the account has gone quiet in a way the metrics are not quite capturing.
