The Quality Index
What is the minimum amount of data (impressions, number of days, number of clicks, etc) required before a meaningful quality index can be calculated?
As soon as your ad receives one impression, a quality index is calculated. However, the quality index that is displayed within your account is updated daily. Therefore, you may not see a quality index displayed in your account until the day after your first impression is recorded.
