Converting search term is not a keyword

A query that keeps converting below the group's cost deserves its own keyword: its own bid, its own quality score, and protection from whichever broader keyword happens to win the auction.

Fires when
A search term with at least 2 conversions and a CPA below its ad group's is not yet a keyword.
What to do
Add it as an exact keyword.
How the impact is estimated
opportunity = (ad group CPA - term CPA) x the term's conversions: what the group saves if the term is bid on directly
