What is a qualified view?

A view that passes four checks set by the campaign brief: watch duration, policy compliance, geo consistency, and traffic validity. If any layer rejects it, the view is logged with a reason code and excluded from both spend and payout.

What's the typical podcast clip length FORKOFF runs?

30-90s on TikTok and Reels, 30-180s on Shorts, depending on the brief. Watch-threshold is set per platform and per campaign.

Do I need a large audience to qualify?

No. Fit, quality, and verifiable performance matter more than raw follower count. Smaller, geo-niche clippers often outperform on CPQV.

How are payouts calculated?

Payout = qualified views ÷ 1,000 × campaign CPM rate. Rates are visible before brief acceptance. Filtered views don't count toward payout but they don't penalize your standing either.

Settlement happens 7-14 days after the qualification window closes. Each campaign brief discloses the exact settlement window before you accept the brief.

Do I source the source episodes or does the brand?

Brand-supplied. Each brief includes the source episodes (typically 8-12) plus brand-safety guidelines and required hashtags.

Why was my clip rejected?

Every rejection includes a reason code: policy issue, brief mismatch, format mismatch, or invalid traffic signals. You can rework and resubmit if the issue is fixable.

03 · How it works

Brief to live in three steps.

▸ Step 01

Brief

Show, format, target geos, watch-time threshold per platform, brand-safety rules locked in writing. Sanctioned-region exclusions confirmed at acceptance.

▸ Step 02

Vetted clipper routing

Clippers matched by geography, niche, and prior qualification rate against similar briefs. Self-tagged geo is not trusted; routing happens at acceptance.

▸ Step 03

Qualify, ledger, settle

Every view passes watch-time, policy, geo, and traffic-validity checks. Filtered traffic logged with reason code. CSV/JSON export to finance and ops.

04 · Deep dive

Why Podcast Clipper Network prices on qualified views.

Podcast clipping rewards narrative pacing. FORKOFF pays on watch-time qualification so your strongest format outperforms generic short-form. The four-stage qualification engine (watch-time, policy, geo, traffic-validity) is the wedge. Most operators in this space hand the brand a dashboard count and treat the qualification denominator as private. FORKOFF ships the denominator into the contract: per-view reason codes, CPQV pricing on the views that cleared the brief, filtered traffic logged but never billed. The audit ledger reconciles against MMP records (AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch) for consumer-app clients and against treasury reporting for web3 clients. Outcome-priced means you pay for the qualified denominator, not for impressions an ad-ops cleanup pass would later strip.

06 · Case archive · Sandbox tier

Sample sandbox: Podcast Clipper Network qualified at scale.

▸ FORKOFF case archive

An anonymized FORKOFF Podcast Clipper Network sandbox campaign cleared 1.6M qualified views against a $5K brief at $0.003 CPQV. The qualification engine logged ~37% of raw playback as filtered (sub-watch-time, geo-mismatch, sanctioned-region, or traffic-validity flagged) and excluded that volume from billing. Brand reconciled per-view ledger against MMP records the same week. Specific brand name redacted under NDA. The case structure is representative of the sandbox tier the strategist locks at brief acceptance.
