Headline totals are account-level ($4,414.03 · 2,599 clicks). Ad and audience figures use Meta's attributed breakdowns ($3,938.72 · 2,402 clicks); Meta can't tie every dollar to a specific ad and person, so the two are shown separately and never added. "Views" = impressions. Every rate is recomputed from raw sums and independently validated.
