Use when the portfolio includes creators, affiliates, or publishers: compensation design, brand-safety vetting, yield operations, program health.
Instructions your experts follow when using this skill.
Use this when the portfolio includes creators, affiliates, or publishers rather than business-to-business tiers. Start from the roster, the current compensation (tiers, commissions, bonuses, loyalty), traffic and conversion data, the brand-safety rules, and the platform in play.
Tiers with earn bars, commission rates, bonus triggers, and loyalty perks. The middle tier has to be reachable by most active creators, or the bar is too high.
Every payout rule names the data source it reads.
Entry checks per creator: audience fit, content review, and fraud signals — brand bidding, typosquat domains, cookie stuffing, self-referral, sub-affiliate layering. Then ongoing monitoring flags and a dated removal bar.
Program terms ban each vector before the creator activates: a brand-bidding ban, coupon and code rules, a self-referral ban, disclosure requirements, a cookie-stuffing ban, and clawback.
A flagged creator pauses payouts first. Removal needs the owner's yes.
Track cost per click, fill, click-through rate, and effective cost per thousand impressions per creator and per placement, plus tag and API health checks.
The attribution spine: last affiliate click wins; a 30-day cookie that is overwritten, not extended; a payout lock at least as long as the refund window; and coupon share held under about 25 percent — as a rule of thumb, over 40 percent means the program is cannibalising rather than acquiring.
An underperformer gets one dated improvement window before any tier action.
Active creators, revenue per creator, payout ratio, fraud and safety flags, and the top, mover, and faller lists. A trend names its window before its number.
The compensation sheet, the vetting and safety log, the yield read, and the monthly health report.
No platform data means running from owner-pasted exports marked with their date, with feed setup as the first action. No safety rules means drafting a starter set and confirming it with the owner.
No compensation change, payout, or creator removal goes out without your explicit yes.
