My understanding is that campaign internals can tailor their questions to determine specifically if their own strategy goals are being met - e.g.: does Big Budget Attack Ad sufficiently sway Target Group A to support the candidate? Is Target Group B motivated enough about voting that the campaign's GOTV effort will be effective? Is the ground game in Region A swaying the votes it needs to?

I think a triage happens when the results of such questions demonstrate that the campaign's overall path to victory is essentially untenable. Especially when it's late enough that they don't have the time/resources/etc to reformulate a brand new game plan from scratch.

So yeah I think there's a lot more to it than "my poll is super accurate and we are down three points oh no abandon ship everyone!!"
