Compliance Checker

FTC Disclosure Auditing

⭐ Headline Feature

Compliance is now a continuous record, not a one-time check.

Every audit you run is saved automatically. Open the compliance modal on any campaign and see a full history - the last 5 audits with score, platform, input type, and date. Track how your influencer's disclosure improves (or doesn't) over time. Accountability, built in.

New Compliance · History
Compliance History - Track Progress Over Time
Every audit is now saved. Open the compliance modal on any campaign and see the last 5 audits - score, platform, input type, and date. Watch your influencer improve their disclosure over time.
👥
New Compliance · Access
Influencers Can Now Run Compliance Checks
Previously only companies could audit. Now influencers assigned to an active campaign can self audit before posting - reducing back nd forth and catching issues before they become problems.
💰
Improved Compliance · Fine Risk
Fine Risk Now Shows Real Dollar Amount
The fine risk metric previously showed "High / Medium / Low." It now shows $53,088 per violation - the actual FTC civil penalty making the stakes clear and immediate.
📈

ROI Predictor

Campaign Performance Forecasting

⭐ Headline Feature

Real YouTube channels. Real benchmarks.

The "Comparable Campaigns" section previously showed made-up data labeled "Creator A, Creator B, Creator C." That's gone. We now fetch real YouTube channels in the same category as your influencer using the YouTube Data API, pull their actual subscriber counts, average views, and engagement rates, and display them as live industry benchmarks. Every prediction is now grounded in real market data.

🏭
New ROI · Benchmarks
Industry Benchmarks - Live Real Channel Data
Shows 3 real YouTube channels in the same niche as your influencer with their actual subs, avg views, and engagement rate. Companies can instantly see where their chosen influencer sits in the market.
💵
New ROI · Cost Efficiency
Cost Efficiency Metrics - CPA, CPM, Break-even
Three numbers every media buyer actually uses: Cost per Conversion (CPA), Cost per 1,000 Views (CPM), and Break-even Sales. Calculated automatically from your budget and product data.
🏥
New ROI · Channel Health
Channel Health - Detect Fake Followers Automatically
Four automated checks: Follower Quality (subscriber/view ratio detects purchased followers), Upload Consistency, View Trend (growing, stable, or declining), and Subscriber Watch Rate. Each flag includes context a declining trend might mean opportunity, not risk.
🎯
New ROI · Confidence Score
Confidence Score Breakdown - Hover or Tap to Explain
The confidence percentage now has a small ⓘ indicator. Hover on desktop or tap on mobile to see exactly what factors drove it - consistent viewership, engagement rate, hidden subscriber count, data sample size each with their impact shown.
📉
Improved ROI · Profit Calculation
Profit Now Included in Scenario Table
Each scenario (conservative, realistic, optimistic) now includes actual profit - revenue minus campaign budget. Revenue of $10,000 means very different things depending on whether your budget was $500 or $9,500.
🌱
Improved ROI · Channel Flags
Opportunity Tips on Every Warning Flag
When the system flags a risk - low follower quality, declining views, irregular uploads - it now also shows a 💡 opportunity note. A low ratio could mean a fast-growing creator with underpriced rates. Context matters.
