a single source, nothing corroborates it
Structure the search account so learning shows
Keep your own brand terms in a separate campaign from everything else, or their cheap conversions will flatter every other number in the account. Run two tiers: winning queries in the main campaign, everything else worked on in a secondary one and promoted only when it matches the main campaign's performance. If you are still running one keyword per ad group, retest it, because platform changes have blunted that approach.
