Median and middle 50% of account-level average order values. Each account value is purchase ROAS multiplied by cost per purchase in USD. Successful classifications, including manual corrections, with positive finite spend, purchases, ROAS and cost per purchase. Accounts are counted once with equal weight. Quartiles use linear interpolation. Root cohorts include direct root classifications and their child categories; exact-child cohorts exclude parent and sibling categories. The source selects the highest-spend coverage row per account among snapshots dated within the preceding 30 days; the underlying reporting period is not supplied. This is a dated aggregate advertising-data snapshot, not business-wide AOV or a census.

## Research questions

### Why separate estimating from repair?

ASE lists damage analysis and estimating as its own collision test, distinct from collision repair and refinishing. An ad can invite an estimate without implying that photos settle the repair plan.

### What does collision repair cover beyond paint?

ASE describes its collision series as covering analysis and repair of collision damage as well as paint-finish damage. Creative can name the actual shop scope instead of treating every dent as cosmetic.

### Why name the repair discipline?

ASE’s collision series separates painting, non-structural, structural, and mechanical or electrical work. A service page can distinguish the offered work while avoiding a universal repair capability claim.

### Can a certification badge replace a work description?

ASE identifies specific collision test series and separate estimator testing. An ad should use only credentials the actual provider holds and still describe the inspection and estimate process.
